Real Life Angel

[Verse 1]

Your sick little face looked into my eyes

And I didn't know what to say

But I'd really prefer if you didn't die

And you said you'd try your best that day

[Verse 2]

I told you to stare at the trees and the sun

And the hope they bring to the table

But it was all in vain

You said all kind of strange things

Like you were ready to meet a real life angel

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't you see what I see baby

You're still a child

A young woman maybe

Don't leave me to meet some spirit

From where I stand I'm looking at it

[Chorus]

A real life angel

Don't need wings

For me to know

You're a true archangel

Don't need halos

For me to see what I truly see

A real life angel

[Verse 3]

I banish all your tears

They're not welcome in this town

If I could I would go back in time

And kill anyone that hurt you

Or steal you and hide you

[Verse 4]

I'd try to show you the jokes I've learned

To show life doesn't need to be so painful

But you had made up your mind

You were saying all kind of strange things

Like you were ready to see the pearly gates open

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't you see what I see baby

You're just a girl

A young woman barely

Don't ditch me to meet some cherub

Can't you see your own reflection

[Chorus]

A real life angel

Don't need wings for me to know

You're a true archangel

If there's one thing I'm sure

The afterlife is a bore

So stay a real life angel
