I thought I saw an angel
Calling me across the yard
She said âbaby, itâs been real
Now Iâm goneâ
I shouldâve known much better
You canât tame something that wild
When I asked her if she loved me
She just smiled
But itâs my fault
I donât care
I canât hate you if youâre not here
Once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and I burned
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And my angel with her dirty wings
She used to make me smile
She kept all of her secrets locked inside
In a place I could not reach her
Though I tried with all my might
When I begged for something real she said âgoodbyeâ
And itâs my fault
I donât care
I canât hate you if youâre not here
Once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and I burned
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And I am sure itâll be just fine
If I remember, she wasnât ever mine
And I am sure itâll be just fine
If I remember, she wasnât ever mine
And the truth about the two of us
Is we donât make no sense
When we made love, our love was just pretend
And now Iâm trying to forget her
The way I feel her in my bones
And I wonder if she thinks of me at all
But itâs my fault
I donât care
I canât hate you if youâre not here
Once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and I burned
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
