What an Angel Ain't

I've heard it in church, they're everywhere

I swear I thought I met one at the bar one night

Had a bracelet made of pearls and blonde hair

She took me up to heaven, then I saw the light, yeah

She said we'd fly forever

Can't believe how hard I fell

No, no, no, I never thought I'd go through hell

'Cause an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart

A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark

Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint

I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't

Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone

Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain

At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah

No matter what I do to get her gone

Her perfume and her memory still here in my bed

When I was running my hands through her long, long hair

I never thought her baby blues would turn to red

Yeah, an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart

A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark

Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint

I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't

Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone

Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain

At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah

She said we'd fly forever

Can't believe how hard I fell

No, no, no, I never thought I'd go through hell

'Cause an angel ain't ever supposed to break your heart

A boy don't catch her sneaking out in the dark

Lying like a sinner, looking like a saint

I'm crying like the devil 'cause that angel ain't

Picking up the phone, no, an angel don't

Take your best whiskey when she leaves, leaves you all alone

Wishing this heartbreak was over but there's beauty in the pain

At least now I know what an angel ain't

At least now I know what an angel ain't, oh yeah
