Heaven bent to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best But somewhere along the way I got caught up in all there was to offer And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me I told you so...
We all begin with good intent Love was raw and young We believed that we could change ourselves The past could be undone But we carry on our backs the burden Time always reveals The lonely light of morning The wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything That I have held so dear.
I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here And tell me I told you so...
Heaven bent to take my hand Nowhere left to turn I'm lost to those I thought were friends To everyone I know Oh they turned their heads embarassed Pretend that they don't see But it's one missed step You'll slip before you know it And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried, I've fallen... I have sunk so low I have messed up Better I should know So don't come round here
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears And when she was happy, so was i, when she loved me.
Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all Just she and I together, like it was meant to be And when she was lonely, I was there to comfort her And I knew that she loved me.
So the years went by, I stayed the same And she began to drift away, I was left alone Still I waited for the day, when shed say "i will always love you."
Lonely and forgotten, never thought shed look my way, She smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do, Like she loved me, when she loved me
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful, Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart When she loved me.
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance For the break that will make it OK There's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction or a beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight
Chorus : In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the Angel, may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference, escape one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees
[Chorus]
In the arms of the Angel, may you find some comfort here
She calls me baby, then she won't call me. Says she adores me and then ignores me. Jenny, what's the problem? She keeps her distance and sits on fences. Puts up resistance and builds defenses.
Jenny, what's the problem? You leave me hanging on the line. Every time you change your mind.
First You say you won't, then you say you will. You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on. We're standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees. Jenny, it's killing me.
She needs her own space. She's playing mind games. Ends up at my place saying that she's changed. Jenny, what's the problem? I'm trying to read between the lines. You got me going out of my mind.
First, you say you won't, then you say you will. You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on. We're standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees. Jenny, it's killing me. It's killing me. It's killing me. Jenny.
First, you say you won't, then you say you will. You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on. We're standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees. Jenny.
First, you say you won't, then you say you will. You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on. We're standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees.
Tried to take a picture Of love Didn't think I'd miss her That much I want to fill this new frame But its empty
Tried to write a letter In ink Its been getting better I think I got a piece of paper But its empty Its empty
Maybe we're trying Trying too hard Maybe we're torn apart Maybe the timing Is beating our hearts We're empty
And I've even wondered If we Should be getting under These sheets We could lie in this bed But its empty Its empty
Maybe we're trying Trying too hard Maybe we're torn apart Maybe the timing Is beating our hearts We're empty
Oh oh Oh oh Oooooh Oh oh Oh oh
Maybe we're trying Trying too hard Maybe we're torn apart Maybe the timing Is beating our hearts We're empty
We're empty We're empty
Or will we end up getting hurt Is this love a myth So tell me are you in for this There's so much more than we can see More than you More than me It takes two to believe!
Maybe it's our first mistake And baby that's alright It's crazy how we lost ourselves tonight Maybe it's our first mistake And baby that's alright It's crazy how we lost ourselves tonight There's a reason why they say that we should give it time But time is not enough And that's the reason why when you're young you fall in love
And that's the reason why When you're young you fall in love [2x]
