She'd been walking for far too long Balancing on a tightrope line You could see it in her eyes, in her shoulders Smiling was getting harder to find Her sky-colored eyes held back the flood Always on the edge, ready to overflow It’s hard to see an angel with broken wings I never truly knew how she felt inside But I was there, I could’ve stopped it I wished I had the power to change her world But I wasn’t him, I couldn’t save her I just watched her fading from that face I knew Just before the fall She vanished into the void But she didn’t break when she hit the ground She was already too broken down Just before the fall I know I'm a monster for letting go For watching that angel fall and break below Her wings were cut when we left her there But I only thought of me, of what I wanted I thought it was love, but it was selfishness When angels fall, what do they become? Almost never something good, I knew it But I ignored it, I wanted her for myself And still, I let her fall Just before the fall She vanished into the void But she didn’t break when she hit the ground She was already too broken down Just before the fall Oh, oh, oh, oh Just before the fall
