| With my last breath I tell you this
|
| There’s no regret
|
| My fears were all around, me scratching from the outside
|
| Cause you never have time for everything
|
| And I’m trying my best to let it be
|
| The reasons collide in spite of me and drown in the excuses
|
| As the light begins to fade
|
| I open my eyes
|
| I’m on your side, but I’m not an angel
|
| I’ve taken on all that I can take
|
| Dying inside, 'cause I’m not an angel
|
| Down on my knees for you I reach for heaven’s gate
|
| The breeze is colder than I thought
|
| It looks like rain
|
| Now all these feelings overwhelm the hesitation
|
| Cause you never break free of what you need
|
| And you’re never sure where you’re meant to be
|
| If something good would just plant a seed
|
| These roots would keep from runnin'
|
| As the light begins to fade
|
| I open my eyes
|
| I’m on your side, but I’m not an anagel
|
| I’ve taken on all that I can take
|
| I’m dying inside, 'cause I’m not an angel
|
| Down on my knees for you I reach for heaven’s gate
|
| And if the well runs dry you dig a deeper hole
|
| And if you’re asking why then you’ll never know |
| That when the dust returns I’ll be your place to hide
|
| And I will salve your burns
|
| And I will tear your cries
|
| I’m on your side, but I’m not an angel
|
| I’ve taken on all that I can take
|
| I’m dying inside, 'cause I’m not an angel
|
| Down on my knees for you I reach for heaven’s gate
|
| Oh, reach for heaven’s gate
|
| Oh, I’m on your side |
