I'm No Angel

People seem to drop you, and compliment you the whole way down...

I’m no angel, I’m not perfect,
Or any other name you always call me.
It’s not fair to flatter me with lies,
Just to avoid the truth I already see.

Why can’t you just let me go?
It’s like you’re so afraid to know,
The monsters under your bed,
And the thoughts in your head.

 

So don’t ask me if I’m doing ok,
Don’t try to care when I run away,
Don’t speak if you’ve nothing to say,
Don’t try to love what you’ve led astray.

 

It’s my job, it’s my hobby,

A martyr for those who can’t fight.
It’s not fair to refuse the damned,
Only to wish for them every night.

 

Why can’t I just break free?
I can only escape to some degree,
Still caught in your wonderful gaze,
Still alone in a delusional daze.

 

So don’t ask me if I’m doing ok,
Don’t try to care when I run away,
Don’t speak if you’ve nothing to say,
Don’t try to love what you’ve led astray.

 

I still miss you, I still hear you,
Those quite little words I still remember.
It’s not fair to keep the fire alive,
To refuse the thirst of this dying ember.

 

Why do you look me in the eyes,
Whenever you say those beautiful lies?

Still worrying about things left unsaid,
Still smell your perfume on my pillow in bed.

 

So don’t ask me if I’m doing ok,
Don’t try to care when I run away,
Don’t speak if you’ve nothing to say,
Don’t try to love what you’ve led astray.

 

I’m no angel, I’m not perfect,
I’m not that great person in your views.
I’m no savior, I’m nothing special,
I’m just a guy with nothing to lose.

I’m no angel, I’m not perfect,
I’m not that person you recall.

I’m not yours, you’re not mine,
I’m just a guy who lost it all…
