Lyrics
You pick the wings off angels (angels)
The fall is slow and painful (painful)
I didn't realize you took my wings when I fell
I thought a guardian angel was coming over to help
Was it all part of a plan to turn my life into hell?
I thought I dug you, I just dug a deeper hole for myself
Left in the dark, nothing there to find my way but a gaslight
The butterflies inside of me are starting to flat line
You drove me to the edge, manipulated, I ran blind
The eggshells that I'm walking on are turning to land mines
Acted like I'm cheating while you had yourself another man
If I'm a ladykiller baby, you would be the son of Sam
Sticking with you for a year took some of my life span
I should've never even given you a one-night stand
Cold feet, I kicked your ass to the curb
This ain't the ride of my life, it's just a ride in a hearse
You're Insane and narcissistic, girl, I know how this works
You ain't gonna let this die 'til you take me with you first
You pick the wings off angels
The fall is slow and painful
And I know it's not what you want, but you can't see
If I'm going down, know you're right there with me, oh
You pick the wings off angels
Angels like me
Angels like me
Pushed me when I'm crossing over mountains and ridges
And made sure I never turned around to notice the bridges
That you were burning, now I'm wondering why no one will visit
'Cause you cut me off from everything but told me you fixed it
Always fix my wounds by ripping out all the stitches
And then convince me all the pain you caused is all self-inflicted
I opened up to you and now the doors are off of the hinges
And you did something unthinkable you'll always have to live with
Remember when you caught two buses out to my house?
Said that if I ever leave, that you'd end up in the ground
Every word is like a bullet, but I'm not backing down
Took you home and said, "It's over," I ain't fuckin' around
I got a text from daddy telling me you tried to end it
Now you're at the hospital, it's my fault and he meant it
I asked for the address, saying let me come defend it
Just to find that it's another lie and you're pretending
You pick the wings off angels (angels)
The fall is slow and painful
And I know it's not what you want, but you can't see
If I'm going down, know you're right there with me, oh
You pick the wings off angels
Angels like me
Angels like me
And I know it's not what you want, but you can't see
If I'm going down, know you're right there with me, oh
You pick the wings off angels
