VERSE 1:
The only one, who meant me good
She picked me up when nobody else would
Those piercing eyes, that photo face
And no one knows the friendship we embraced.
BRIDGE 1:
Now she's locked away in chains
And now, I can't stand to see her change.
CHORUS 1:
And as we look into her eyes, just as we pass her by
The spirit's gone, the laughter dies, and it hurts because I
Tried to save her, tried to be brave for her
Give it up and walk the line for her but
Gotta cry myself to sleep, and all because an angel's died tonight
All because an angel's died tonight.
VERSE 2:
Cos my love will never go
Be by your side if you would just say so
I cannot rest, and let it be
Please don't take my hope and soul from me.
BRIDGE 2:
Now, the Devil's got her in his claws
And now, don't know what my life is for.
CHORUS 2:
And when I stop and see her cry, can't go and dry her eyes
Don't ask me how, don't ask me why, but it hurts because I
Used to know her, used to be close to her
Still could have been, but as it stands
Gotta cry myself to sleep, and all because my angel's passed me by
All because our angel's died tonight.
PRE FINAL CHORUS:
Gotta say, it shatters me in two
And now I'm a fucking wreck.
CHORUS 3: (As Chorus 1)
OUTRO:
Tonight (repeat)
