Angel Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face, what do you see?
I feel like a boy of age thirteen
My body grows up, but my mind stays the same
Look me in the face, what do you see?

[Verse 1]
How do you tell an angel
That you don't believe in God?
Why do I feel like such a stranger?
I look around
I look around and all my friends are gone

[Chorus]
But oh, would you be me?
‘Cause I would be you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And oh, would you trade me?
Because I would trade you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to

[Verse 2]
How do you tell your father
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When Mom says, “He’d be better off dead”
But I want to see you
I still wanna see you

[Chorus]
Oh, would you call me?
Oh, it's not hard to
I'm the first one
Oh, you gave birth to
And oh, would you write me
On my birthday?
Graduation was yesterday
Yesterday, oh

[Verse 3]
How do you hold the special victim
When they push you away?
When they've been raped on the inside, torn on the outside?
Feel dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide
Touched in private places, embarrassed faces
Too scared to ask for help

[Chorus]
Oh, would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And oh would you trade me?
‘Cause I would trade you
You'd be happy
Only if you wanted to

[Outro]
I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face, what do you see?
