It took the edge off
at least that's what I thought at the time
but my mouth was open
and these words kept pouring out
and now my head is empty
and I wish it was just empty threatening
but all my angels seem to disappear
and leave me lonely singing

It's been so long since I've felt
not a victim of repression
so maybe I overdo
but take who this is or let me be

'cause all the angels in the world
couldn't hold a candle to me
and no one will ever love you like I do
my fire is inside
and the door is open so let it slide
and I'll just be who I am
and you just be a man
and I'll still love you anyways

My heart is broken
most of the time so don't let that bother you
and I learned to fight last time
so I know how to do what I have to do
though I am painfully fragile
I'll do my best not to let anyone see
and deathly cold
sometimes its easier to shut off than feel anything

it's been so long since I've felt
not a victim of repression
so maybe I overdo
but take who this is or let me be

'cause all the angels in the world

and no one will ever love you like i do
my fire is inside
and the door is open so let it slide
and I'll just be who I am
and you just be a man
and I'll still love you anyways

Even though you're a man
I'll love you anyways
Even when I don't understand
