"Angels Don't Cry" lyrics

I could talk around in circles
Always treading carefully to make you feel heard
When I'm on the verge of
You know that I'd bend over backwards
Teeth smile like an actress upon the billboard
On the way that you walk to work

But maybe that's the problem
Nothing's ever good enough
And I could give you heaven
Just to rip it up

God! I wish that I could be what you like
Perfection personified
I'm a saint in your eyes
But angels don't cry, angels don't cry
Always been the dependable guy
And you could take it all and I'd be fine
Even though it's a lie
But angels don't cry, angels don't cry

Mum said, "Love's a game of bruises
There's winners and there's losers,"
And I'm not the one who's throwing the punches
I think you know what you're doing
The drug I can't stop using
'Cause people like me do whatever you need me to

But maybe that's the problem
Nothing's ever good enough
And I could give you heaven
Just to rip it up

God! I wish that I could be what you like
Perfection personified
I'm a saint in your eyes
But angels don't cry, angels don't cry
Always been the dependable guy
And you could take it all and I'd be fine
Even though it's a lie
But angels don't cry, angels don't cry

Must be nice
To feel my love and don't think twice
Like I'm just nothing to you
Oh. I'm something to something to use

Must be nice
To feel my love and don't think twice
Like I'm just for passing the time
Oh. But angels don't—angels don't—angels don't cry

God! I wish that I could be what you like
Perfection personified
I'm a saint in your eyes
But angels don't cry, angels don't cry
Always been the dependable type
And you could take it all and I'd be fine
Even though it's just a lie
But angels don't cry, angels don't cry

But, baby, look away
'Cause this angel just might
If it's the last time
