When an Angel Cries

[Intro

[Verse 1

You’re not my creation, not even my imagination

There was no communication, yet you’re here for my revelation

You’ve uncovered the darkness in me

I was scared, but now it’s clear to see

[Pre-Chorus

There’s nothing left here for you to hurt

It’s just a hollow you can fill with sorrow

But if you choose to leave, please don’t tell me—just go

Run away like the others, never come back, don’t pretend to be a friend

[Chorus

Why are you still here? You’ve already seen the devil in me

You can’t change me, just like you can’t stop your own pain

The storm will rage on, even if you build a shelter for me

[Verse 2

Maybe I’m the one who should leave

I don’t want you hurt in the end—please believe!

I don’t want my emptiness seeping into your soul

If I could, I’d lock my devil in chains and take control

[Chorus

Why are you still here? You’ve already seen the devil in me

You can’t change me, just like you can’t stop your own pain

The storm will rage on, even if you build a shelter for me

[Bridge

The devil sees right through me, but you’re the only angel I’ve ever known

Please don’t cut your wings—let your feathers be blown

When the angel cries, and the heavens shatter, maybe the world doesn’t deserve salvation

And if I make you cry, maybe I deserve damnation

[Dual Guitar Solo

[Chorus

Why are you still here? You’ve already seen the devil in me

You can’t change me, just like you can’t stop your own pain

The storm will rage on, even if you build a shelter for me

[Outro

Beneath the darkened sky, I seek salvation

For the tears I’ve caused and my soul’s condemnation
