lyrics

(Verse 1)
She said she’s not the type to walk around, looking over shoulders
She said she’s not alright, feels like she’s carrying some boulders
I said, don’t waste your time on that, no, gotta be an angel
I said, don’t waste your time on that, no, gonna lose your halo
Been down, worried for a few minutes
She left, how could I fix it?
She existed, not how you envision
My angels aren’t holy, nor have a religion, nor have a religion
My angels aren’t holy, (unholy, unholy)

(Hook)
She had become, the angel of my mind
She had become, the angel of my eye
But was she good, was she good, was she good..for me
She’s the angel, I’m the devil
I’m the angel, she’s the devil
I could never get it right, you see

(Verse 2)
Girl why do you always, get stuck in my mind (mind) (mind)
I keep on fighting this, all of the time (time) (time)
Keep on playing these games, so worried she’ll change
But I don’t realize she’s gone, no angels, no demons
No devils, I’m leaving
Chapter over, close the book,
I can’t give you a second look
Gotta move on, live this life for good
There’s an angel singing at the chapel,
She’s just hoping she could capture
Your emotions and the pastor
But she got you running, running faster, running faster
They ask what you’re running after, running after

(Hook)
She had become, the angel of my mind
She had become, the angel of my eye
But was she good, was she good, was she good..for me
She’s the angel, I’m the devil
I’m the angel, she’s the devil
I could never get it right, you see

(Verse 3)
This is not about the girls, I’m chasing in my life
It’s about the one who left earth and it wasn’t quite right
See honestly, in the time, leading up to that moment
It had been awhile since I thought of her, my heart was still broken
Now I move on, found closure, it was so hard
And none of this reflects who she was
It just reflects on me
She got me through some rough nights
I always wondered why she died
But now she’s dead and gone, and I’ll never get to ask her why

(Outro Hook)
And what she was, she became the angel of… (3x)
Everything I wasn’t capable of.
And what she was, she became the angel of… (3x)
Everything I wasn’t capable of.

(Spoken Word)
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels nor by demons, nor heaven or hell.
