Where Angels Fear
Breathe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see a coldness in your eyes like a winters day.
You won't accept the compromise love brings your way.
Perfection you see as your prize, but will the circle be unbroken.
You can only learn to love when you understand, accepting people as they are puts the key in hand.
You may be looking at the stars, but on earth you stand.
Will the circle be unbroken, will the circle be unbroken, will it be unbroken.
Loving you is loving your imperfection.
In loving me just let me see I'm your inspiration.

You're driven solely by a dream that can never be.
You resign yourself to search, it's your destiny.
You may be looking at the stars, but there's only me...
Will the circle be unbroken, will the circle be unbroken, will it be unbroken.
Loving you is loving your imperfection.
In loving me just let me see I'm your inspiration.

Will it be, will it be, will it be unbroken.
Will it be, will it be, will it be unbroken.
Will it be, will it be, will it be unbroken.
Will it be, will it be, will it be unbroken.

Loving you is loving your imperfection.
In loving me just let me see I'm your inspiration.
Loving you is loving your imperfection.
In loving me just let me see I'm your inspiration.

Will it be, will it be, will it be unbroken.




Will it be, will it be, will it be unbroken.
Will the circle be unbroken. (repeat to fade)
