With my last breath i tell you this There's no regret My fears were all around me scratching from the outside Cause you never have time for everything And i'm trying my best to let it be The reasons collide in spite of me and drown in the excuses As the light begins to fade I open my eyes I'm on your side, but i'm not an angel I've taken on all that i can take Dying inside, 'cause i'm not an angel Down on my knees for you i reach for heaven's gate The breeze is colder than i thought It looks like rain Now all these feelings overwhelm the hesitation Cause you never break free of what you need And you're never sure where you're meant to be If something good would just plant a seed These roots would keep from runnin' As the light begins to fade I open my eyes I'm on your side, but i'm not an anagel I've taken on all that i can take I'm dying inside, 'cause i'm not an angel Down on my knees for you i reach for heaven's gate And if the well runs dry you dig a deeper hole And if you're asking why then you'll never know That when the dust returns i'll be your place to hide And i will salve your burns And i will tear your cries I'm on your side, but i'm not an angel I've taken on all that i can take I'm dying inside, 'cause i'm not an angel Down on my knees for you i reach for heaven's gate Oh, reach for heaven's gate Oh I'm on your side
