"The Angels" lyrics

"The Angels"

Sometimes I feel like an innocent one
To deserve this fate what have I ever done?
I know that I made all the rules
But time can even change the hopeless ways of fools
I love you tonight like I did yesterday
I won't think of tomorrow or the price I pay
I drink from the well, my soul is dry
I never know why

All I want is for your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All I want is just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
Oh I thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well
'Cause the angels won't have it

Who's looking after this see-through heart?
Someone up there isn't doing their part
Oh, Cupid, you foolish boy
You should take better aim with your brand new toy
I love you tonight like I did yesterday
I won't think of tomorrow or the price I pay
I drink from the well, my soul is dry
I never know why

All I want is for your love to be all mine
But the angels won't have it
All I want is just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
Oh I thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well
'Cause the angels won't have it

So if I die before I wake
The innocent one whose heart could never break
Ooh, lift me up, take me out of this bed
Watching the angels shake their heads
Don't feel sorry for me, baby
Honey, don't you cry
You can sell all of my clothes
You will forget me by and by
I'll be riding that train
And I'll be singing that song
But I won't be gone for long

'Cause the angels won't have it
Oh, oh, no
Oh, all I want is is just a little peace of mind
But the angels won't have it
Oh I thought I had a piece of my soul left to sell
I guess it's just as well

All I want, all I want
All I want, oh
Won't have it
The angels won't have it, ah
All I want
All I want
And I want
