She comes home to me after a hard night's work

Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird

Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me

Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me

Like, who are you anyway

And what are you doing to me?



She's an angel

But she can't see it

She's got wings,

But she can't feel 'em

She's an angel

But she can't see it

But she's flying above me every day

Every day of my life



Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them

She carries the chains of a million decisions

That weren't even hers to begin with anyway

But she carries them all

All the people around her

Never even notice that she's very very tired



She's an angel

But she can't see it

She's got wings

But she can't feel 'em

She's an angel

But she can't see it

But she's rising above me every day

Every day of my life
