Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I shouldn't have walked away
I would've stayed if you'd said
We could've made everything okay, but we just
Threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground
[Verse 2]
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all
Remember we used to touch the sky
[Verse 3]
And lightening don't strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye, I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift, but we let it drift in a storm
Every night I feel the angels cry
[Verse 4]
Come on, babe, can our love be revived?
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry
[Verse 5]
Limitless, omnipresent kind of love
Couldn't have guessed it would just stop
And disappear in a whirlwind
Here I am, walkin' on this narrow rope
Wobblin', but won't let go
Waitin' for a glimpse of the sun's glow
[Verse 6]
I know I can stand, just pull me back up
But there ain't a hurricane, it's just us
I'm willing to live and die for our love
Baby, we can get back that shine
[Verse 7]
'Cause lightening don't strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye, I felt the angels cry
'Cause true love's a gift, but we let it drift in a storm
Every night I feel the angels cry
[Verse 8]
Come on, babe, can our love be revived?
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry
[Verse 9]
Baby, I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reachin' for you
[Verse 10]
Baby, I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reachin' for you
[Verse 11]
Lightening don't strike the same place twice
You and I said goodbye, I felt the angels cry
'Cause true love's a gift, we let it slip in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry
Oh babe, don't let the angels cry
