Lyrics
I saw what I wanted and took it for me
with all the strings attached like they’re supposed to be
I didn’t know how deep some feelings can go
and you can really do some damage down there in the soul of another
i wanted and got it opened up for me so fast I didn’t learn the dance of how to treat
these beings that walk and talk and breathe
and you can really do some damage down here in the role of a lover
nobody watching over to make sure we don’t waste love cupped right to our face
can you see it, when you taste it can you be it…
I met an angel on earth but didn’t know it
now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
with all this love in my heart I couldn’t show it
touching the root of my shame no need to grow it now
maybe we try it again someday when I learn to love for real angel
may you find yours too
it’s not to absolve responsibility
and there’s no going back the scar is here to see
I know well I put you through a living hell
this is a way to make the damages clear
so I won’t do another that way…
nobody watching over to make sure we don’t waste love cupped right to our face
can you see it, when you taste it can you be it…
I met an angel on earth but didn’t know it
now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
with all this love in my heart I couldn’t show it
touching the root of my shame no need to grow it now
maybe we try it again someday when I learn to love for real angel
