[Mariah:] I shouldn't have walked away I would've stayed if you said We could've made everything OK 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
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall Shattered in pieces curled on the floor Super natural love conquers all 'Member we used to touch the sky
And lightning don't strike The same place twice When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift We let it drift In a storm Every night I feel the angels cry
C'mon babe can't 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
[Ne-Yo:] I thought we'd be forever and always You were serenity You took away the bad days Didn't always treat you right But it was OK I do somethin' stupid And you still stay with me
But you can only go for so long Doing the one you claim to love wrong Before too much is enough You look up Find your love gone And
We were so good together How come we could not weather This storm and just do better Why did we say goodbye
'Cause lightning don't strike The same place twice When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift We let it drift In a storm Now every night I feel the angels cry
[Mariah & Ne-Yo:] C'mon babe can't 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
Baby I'm missin' you Don't allow love to lose We gotta ride it through I'm reaching for you
Baby I'm missin' you Don't allow love to lose We gotta ride it through I'm reaching for you
Lightning 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 slip In a storm Every night I feel the angels cry
