I thought I saw an angel Calling me across the yard She said ‘baby, it’s been real Now I’m gone’ I should’ve known much better You can’t tame something that wild When I asked her if she loved me She just smiled
But it’s my fault I don’t care I can’t hate you if you’re not here Once you go, never ever turn around I have sacrificed and I burned Oh, you gotta live before you learn And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And my angel with her dirty wings She used to make me smile She kept all of her secrets locked inside In a place I could not reach her Though I tried with all my might When I begged for something real she said ‘goodbye’
And it’s my fault I don’t care I can’t hate you if you’re not here Once you go, never ever turn around I have sacrificed and I burned Oh, you gotta live before you learn And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And I am sure it’ll be just fine If I remember, she wasn’t ever mine And I am sure it’ll be just fine If I remember, she wasn’t ever mine
And the truth about the two of us Is we don’t make no sense When we made love, our love was just pretend And now I’m trying to forget her The way I feel her in my bones And I wonder if she thinks of me at all
But it’s my fault I don’t care I can’t hate you if you’re not here Once you go, never ever turn around I have sacrificed and I burned Oh, you gotta live before you learn And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
