Broken Angel

He blames himself for all that’s happened here
It’s not his fault he’s used as a voodoo doll for fear
He only did what would keep him alive with you at his side
You meant more to him than just a way to vent his pain

He stood up and fought for life with you at his side
You were blind to the love he gave you
He held dear what he felt inside
That boy wanted you to be his bride

You’re his Broken Angel with the Devil in her eyes
Now he’s begging, saying ‘Baby, please don’t die’
Love is his true devotion
It’s what keeps his Dreams in Motion

You can’t hear what he’s saying anymore
But you still feel his hand resting on your heart
He’s a shattered Gabriel with ripped off wings
There to save your soul and heal your body

He stood up and fought for life with you at his side
You were blind to the love he gave you
He held dear what he felt inside
That boy wanted you to be his bride

You had his heart in a little box, locked tight in your uncaring soul
He prayed for the day those eyes would alight
Your hand would reach out and take his, hold it tight
But his wishing was only in vain
You’re just a regular Cain with a knife

Your pulse stops, and he screams into the empty air
He grabs a knife and paints his skin in ruby blood
Carves your name into his heart and takes you in his arms
You’re his final, haunting dream
And the only beautiful thing he sees as he walks into oblivion.

He stood up and fought for life with you at his side
You were blind to the love he gave
He held dear what he felt inside
That boy wanted you to be his bride
But it’s all over now; you had your last good laugh and cry
What was your pretty little game turns deadly as you die
And as he dies, all your soul can do is cry
He was your Broken Angel, after all.
