Verse 1:
Your paper wings got
ruined in the rain
Coat hanger halo got rusted
The lace fell off
the dress you made
Your the saddest little angel
Mascara left a sour taste
Chorus 1:
And I wish that I was there
when you took that fall
I'm too weak to pick you up
But I would've laid down
in this puddle beside you
Cause it's all that I can do
I didn't have the
heart to tell you
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
(Repeat Intro)
Verse 2:
Like wild horses
running scared
From a storm that's
too much to bare
It's sad the things
you used to fear
Don't seem so bad
they're not so bad
Don't let them scare you
Chorus 2:
And I pushed your bed
to the window today
You're still not well enough
turned your visitors away
I fight these tears
by your bedside
How dare I let
you see me cry
I didn't have the
heart to tell you
It's really bad
It's really bad this time
Interlude: B--G#m--Ebm--E--
Bridge:
Your wings weren't meant for this
This weather that no one guessed
No calm before the storm
And it's gone before the panic sets
So let's take our time with this
Bleach the mud from off your dress
You make such an innocent
mess in all of this
(Repeat Chorus 1)
End on B
