Fallen Angel

about

lyrics

We can’t change who we are but sometimes we can play convincing roles
we think we run things here but this life is not ours to control
if I didn’t make things clear, there was one thing that I knew
I could never forgive myself fo ever hurting you

The devil is just a fallen angel and I am just a man
I wish I could change circumstances but I’ve done the best I can

I didn’t know I was contagious untill I saw you getting sick, and I knew I had to run
so if I’m going then I think it’s time for me to start
A better time will never come
and if I don’t look back, it’s not because I didn’t love you
It’s just that I’ll be paralyzed if I don’t find a way to stop thinking of you

The devil is just a fallen angel and I am just a man
I wish I could change circumstances but I’ve done the best I can

Fallen angel, fallen angel
now I understand your fate
looking on at something so beautiful
that you can’t touch, no matter how long you wait

now I’m out here on my own and everything I own is all that’s in my heart
I try to see the meaning of each moment
but it’s not easy when you know what could’ve been
