An Angel Cries

Sometimes I wish it were yesterday
When I felt she was all mine
I never thought it would slip away with a blink of an eye
We were one in a dream
In a moment that felt so right
But sometimes we change
And sometimes we make mistakes that we can't erase

Today she told me she's been okay
But her eyes never could lie
Could it be just one of those days
Or maybe he's crossed a line

Somehow she's not the same
I know that he's to blame
I know she tries to hide
The heartache she denies
Somehow I just can tell
She fakes that smile
'Cause I know when the moon comes around
An angel cries

[Chorus:]
She calls me late in the night
I know she's hurting inside
I know she tells me she's doin' fine
An angel cries
I tell her it's not too late
I'll come and take her away
I'll never treat her the way he does

So many times
I've heard people talk
Of the noises behind the walls
They know the secrets behind her shame
And I hope for his sake they're wrong
Sometimes I wish it were yesterday
But she had to let go
Should've never let go

Somehow she's not the same
I know that he's to blame
I know she tries to hide
The heartache she denies
Somehow I just can tell
She fakes that smile
'Cause I know when the moon comes around
An angel cries

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

But sometimes we change
And no one's to blame
And so many times I've said to myself
If she would just let me take her away
She'd walk out the door
But deep down I know
When the morning comes
She'll be back in his hands again

[Chorus:]
