I Teach Angels How To Fly

I know I strike like lightning

Darkness is overwhelming

No, you, you cannot stop me

I ride into the storm

My struggles are living with sin

It hurts me, still I pretend

So broken, my heart cannot mend

My worries, they know no end (they know no end)

I'm the place where secrets go to die

I'm the tongue that tells the lie

I'm the tears that fall

From your mother's eyes

I am the long goodbye

(I teach angels how to fly)

I crumble, I disintegrate

My nightmares are when I'm awake

It haunts me, I've made my mistakes

So painful, I scar, I break (I scar, I break)

I'm the place where secrets go to die

I'm the tongue that tells the lie

I'm the tears that fall

From your mother's eyes

I am the long goodbye

(I teach angels how to fly)

I'm the place where secrets go to die

I'm the tongue that tells the lie

I'm the tears that fall

From your mother's eyes

I am the long goodbye

I'm in the place where secrets go to die

I'm the tongue that tells the lie

I'm the tears that fall

From your mother's eyes

I am the long goodbye
