Once again, I’ve mistaken you for an angel Maybe you are I don’t know And I could’ve brought you the moon But it wouldn’t be fair for the rest of the world So instead, I’m trying to **** a few words out of language Hoping they’d make better sense than a space rock dying to impress And I know there is a mansion inside of you that’s burning But who said angels aren’t supposed to burn Do not be afraid of the broken walls and shattered windows Do not be afraid of the roof waiting to collapse or the doors slamming like thunder trying to rip their way out  and run Do not be afraid of losing me And do not tell me you’re not because I’ve seen you pull feathers out of your skin Blowing into them as they fall to the groud I am sorry I cannot bring rain to shut down the fire But, Do not be afraid Angels aren’t supposed to burn

Angels aren't suppose to burn
Once again, I’ve mistaken you for an angel Maybe you are I don’t know And I could’ve brought you the moon But it wouldn’t be fair for the rest of the world So instead, I’m trying to **** a few words out of language Hoping they’d make better sense than a space rock dying to impress And I know there is a mansion inside of you that’s burning But who said angels aren’t supposed to burn Do not be afraid of the broken walls and shattered windows Do not be afraid of the roof waiting to collapse or the doors slamming like thunder trying to rip their way out  and run Do not be afraid of losing me And do not tell me you’re not because I’ve seen you pull feathers out of your skin Blowing into them as they fall to the groud I am sorry I cannot bring rain to shut down the fire But, Do not be afraid Angels aren’t supposed to burn
