Angel

Lyrics

[Intro] I'm wishing the bath water clean She hides in the back and is unseen I take off the mask that surrounds me Look me in the face, what do you see? I feel like a boy of age 13 My body grows up, but my mind stays the same Look me in the face, what do you see? [Verse 1] How do you tell an angel That you don't believe in God? Why do I feel like such a stranger? I look around I look around and all my friends are gone [Chorus] But oh, would you be me? 'Cause I would be you Oh, you'd be happy Only if you wanted to And oh, would you trade me? Because I would trade you Oh, you'd be happy Only if you wanted to [Verse 2] How do you tell your father That you want him to notice you? Why does this seem like such a bother? When Mom says, "He'd be better off dead" But I want to see you I still wanna see you [Chorus] Oh, would you call me? Oh, it's not hard to I'm the first one Oh, you gave birth to And oh, would you write me On my birthday? Graduation was yesterday Yesterday, oh [Verse 3] How do you hold the special victim When they push you away? When they've been Raped on the inside Torn on the outside? Feel dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide Touched in private places Embarrassed faces Too scared to ask for help [Chorus] Oh, would you be me? Because I would be you Oh, you'd be happy Only if you wanted to And oh would you trade me? 'Cause I would trade you You'd be happy Only if you wanted to [Outro] I'm wishing the bath water clean She hides in the back and is unseen I take off the mask that surrounds me Look me in the face, what do you see?
