In the morning, you wear heaven well, Soft-spoken Saint, no one could tell. every word clean, every gesture kind not a trace of the trouble you leave behind. but daylight dies in the Halo slips, there's something darker behind your lips. he found the door I kept locked tight, you crept into my heart at night. I should know better. I know your game. still, when you whisper I forget my name. Angel in the daylight, devil when it fades, you left your shadow on me like a brand that stays. those delicate hands have claws, though no one else can see. and every wicked little kiss, is what's been missing in me. I hate that I need you, hate how easily I fall, if your hold on me is wicked, why don't I want free at all? [Verse 2: you slipped inside my temple, the one around my heart, never broke a window, never tore the walls apart, you walked between the candles like you'd always belonged there, left your fingerprints upon me making secrets everywhere. you never have to force it, you barely have to try, one look when evening settles, and every "no" becomes a lie. I tell myself I'm leaving, that tonight will be the end, then darkness falls around us, and there you are again. [Pre-Chorus: such careful fingers, such dangerous grace, the whole world sees an angel - I know the other face. [Chorus: Angel in the daylight, I know what comes with night, you found the sacred part of me, and made the wrong feel right. I swear I could leave you, then you pull me back in. your scent clings on my skin, I'm at your altar, on my knees again. your hold on me is wicked, and I know what I should do - but every door that leads me out, turns me back to you. [Bridge maybe I could run, if I wanted to enough, maybe I could hate you, if letting go weren't so tough. you made a home in my temple I swore no one would find. half of me is begging "Go" the other says "not tonight" your kisses carry secrets, I should never want to keep. you stained the skin I'm living in, and settled somewhere deep. I know the hold you have on me is something I should break - so why does every step away feel harder still to take? [Heavy Final Chorus: Angel in the daylight, devil after dark. everybody sees your halo- I'm the one who bears your mark. your hands are soft as mercy, but I know what lies beneath. your kisses taste like trouble, yet they put me back at peace. I hate the way I need you, but I need you all the same. you crept into my temple, and taught my heart your name. if loving you is wicked, if leaving makes me freed, why does the thought of losing you sound like something I don't need? [Outro: your hold on me is dangerous, God knows that I've tried. but every road that leads me out, circles back to you. the morning comes, halos on right, no one's seen the devil that was with me last night.
