When Do Angels Fall?

Funny how I’m looking for you in someone else
Because I don’t want to destroy what we have
When what we have is fading

Funny how I think of you all the time
You’re my image of perfection
And yet you’re not the one that I call “perfect”

Funny how we barely ever talk anymore
And yet I still think of you
As the one I’m closest to

Don’t you know you’re my angel;
My beauty in shining wings?
I’ll catch you if ever you fall

But when do angels fall?
Am I the devil to lure you down,
When I’m the one who wishes to keep you high?
When do angels fall?
Could I even catch you, if you should lose it all?

Funny how everything makes me think of you
And yet I don’t think of you
At all – because I let the thoughts fall away

Funny how you mean the world to me
And yet I neglect you
Rarely talk to you at all

Funny how with so many beautiful people about me
You stand out the most
And yet I rarely bother to find time to see you

Don’t you know you’re my angel;
My beauty in shining wings?
I’ll catch you if ever you fall
But when do angels fall?

Am I the devil to lure you down,
When I’m the one who wishes to keep you high?
When do angels fall?
Could I even catch you, if you should lose it all?

Funny how you’re something I could never have
And yet I don’t lust after you or dwell upon thoughts of you sadly
Yet occasionally remember you, and smile at the thought of a friend

Funny how I’m not even sure if I really know you
Yet you know me oh so well
And always have been there to help me up of the ground

Funny how I look for the perfect one
When I know it’s you
And I can’t have you

Don’t you know you’re my angel;
My beauty in shining wings?
I’ll catch you if ever you fall
But when do angels fall?

Am I the devil to lure you down,
When I’m the one who wishes to keep you high?
When do angels fall?
Could I even catch you, if you should lose it all?

Funny how I never, ever, want to lose you
And yet I let us fade away
Barely even speak to you nowadays

Funny how I’m lost in my own dizzy world
And have let you fly on without me
And walked away

Funny how I hate myself
And yet defend myself so pathetically
Only completely true to a few – one of them always being you

Don’t you know you’re my angel;
My beauty in shining wings?
I’ll catch you if ever you fall
But when do angels fall?

Am I the devil to lure you down,
When I’m the one who wishes to keep you high?
When do angels fall?
Could I even catch you, if you should lose it all?

Don’t you know you’re my angel;
My beauty in shining wings?
I’ll catch you if ever you fall
But when do angels fall?

Am I the devil to lure you down,
When I’m the one who wishes to keep you high?
When do angels fall?
Could I even catch you, if you should lose it all?

Will you ever lose it all?
Will you ever fall?
Will I be the one
To take it all away
And let your dreams shatter and fade?

I promise to catch you
But is that promise untrue?
I do not know –
Do you?

Don’t you know you’re my angel;
My beauty in shining wings?
I’ll catch you if ever you fall
But when do angels fall?

Am I the devil to lure you down,
When I’m the one who wishes to keep you high?
When do angels fall?
Could I even catch you, if you should lose it all?

If I lose you, have I lost it all?
Will you let me fall?
Will you let us fade away?

My imperfect perfect one;

Don’t you know you’re my angel;
My beauty in shining wings?
I’ll catch you if ever you fall
But when do angels fall?

Am I the devil to lure you down,
When I’m the one who wishes to keep you high
When do angels fall?
Could I even catch you, if you should lose it all?

Do angels lose at all?
When do angels fall?
