She stands before me and her eyes are holding mine
I hear the clock ticking yet I've lost all sense of time
Tears stream down my face as I see what she has seen
Pain is all I felt for her missing wing

Some angels never make it, and in the end they fall
And their wings aren't strong enough to help out at all
Some angels are not angels, they're mortal just like me
Sometimes all it takes is losing a single wing

What would it feel like, if you could never fly again
Never feel the gift of freedom, and everything would change
I don't want to know, because my angel always said
That if you lose a wing, your life might as well end

Some angels never make it, and in the end they fall
And their wings aren't strong enough to help out at all
Some angels are not angels, they're mortal just like me
They are people we see everyday, as we pass them on the street

She stands before me and her eyes are holding mine
I hear the clock ticking yet there is no sense of time
Tears stream down my face, and I wish she knew that I
I am sorry for everything, for all that I have tried

My angel did not make, and she fell alone
I was not their to catch her, to keep her safe at home
My angel's not an angel, she was mortal just like me
And I'm sorry to say she died a mortal, just for me to be

Safe
