She comes home to me after a hard night's work Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me Like, who are you anyway And what are you doing to me? She's an angel But she can't see it She's got wings, But she can't feel 'em She's an angel But she can't see it But she's flying above me every day Every day of my life Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them She carries the chains of a million decisions That weren't even hers to begin with anyway But she carries them all All the people around her Never even notice that she's very very tired She's an angel But she can't see it She's got wings But she can't feel 'em She's an angel But she can't see it But she's rising above me every day Every day of my life
