There’s an angel behind your back
She tried to tell you, before the attack
She could have stopped you
But she let you go
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.
You want the kind of things that light up the sky
But all I want is you
You want to tie the tails together on fire
But all I want is you
There’s an anger you cherish and hide
You cuddle sweetly, along with your pride
You could have starved that
But you fed it all day
Back before it was too late
You want the kind of things that light up the sky
But all I want is you
You want to tie the tails together on fire
But all I want is you
Is you…
Just wait. Just break. Just look at me now
I swear you miss me every time
I could wear those flashy things and get real loud
But you’ll waste your strength in the plight
And all that’s best in our life
You’ll miss the hope that is quiet
You want the kind of things that light up the sky
But all I want is you
You want to tie the tails together on fire
But all I want is you
