Angels - Allison Crowe

It took the edge off

at least that’s what I thought at the time

but my mouth was open

and these words kept pouring out

and now my head is empty

and I wish it was just empty threatening

but all my angels seem to disappear

and leave me lonely singing

It’s been so long since I’ve felt

not a victim of repression

so maybe I overdo

but take who this is or let me be

'cause all the angels in the world

couldn’t hold a candle to me

and no one will ever love you like I do

my fire is inside

and the door is open so let it slide

and I’ll just be who I am

and you just be a man

and I’ll still love you anyways

My heart is broken

most of the time so don’t let that bother you

and I learned to fight last time

so I know how to do what I have to do

though I am painfully fragile

I’ll do my best not to let anyone see

and deathly cold

sometimes its easier to shut off than feel anything

it’s been so long since I’ve felt

not a victim of repression

so maybe I overdo

but take who this is or let me be

'cause all the angels in the world

couldn’t hold a candle to me

and no one will ever love you like i do

my fire is inside

and the door is open so let it slide

and I’ll just be who I am

and you just be a man

and I’ll still love you anyways

Even though you’re a man

I’ll love you anyways

Even when I don’t understand
