They left me to rot,
then called to ask how I was doing.

I’m in love with an angel
one who lit the entire night sky even when she couldn’t see the light herself
her heart held love
for every living thing except herself
I guess maybe she just ran out of space  
this angel would fight for you or for me
every opportunity she got
but she never stood a chance in saving herself

Why did you tell me my lips tasted like heaven
if you never planned on kissing me again?

You’ll eventually realize that you have become everything you were running away from.

With each raise of your fist
an angel is born
their soft kisses soothe her bruises
the wings shelter her from the harsh words
and the halo is offered to hide the tears
she slips deeper and deeper into
the belief that things will change
that you will change
she believes this angel can protect her
every time the alcohol touches your lips
but in the end she is the angel who now knows
just how impossible it is to escape the devil

An angel who followed all
the right signs
and in the end
they still led you to hell.

It is time to make the choice
to live or to die
I cannot go on living
while feeling like I am dying
