 * Lyrics for: "Your Guardian Angel" - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus**

When I see your smile Tears run down my face I can't replace And now that I'm strong I have figured out How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Seasons are changing And waves are crashing And stars are falling all for us Days grow longer and nights grow shorter I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall) I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all (through it all) Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart Please don't throw that away Cuz I'm here for you Please don't walk away and Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will Pull my strings just for a thrill And I know I'll be okay Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven
