Nobody's Angel After All

Sanity has come and gone
Wonder why it took so long
And once again my heart is on the floor

I don’t mind a little change
But now my life’s been rearranged
And I forgot just what I’m fighting for

Thought we could have had it all
Then you let me take the fall
Fluttering on bound and broken wings

Your halo needs a quick spit-shine
Guess that’s why you’d stolen mine
This angel’s forgotten how to sing

And I
Can’t be your baby anymore
And you
Just turn your back and walk away
And we
Aren’t picture-perfect anymore
And I

Guess I’m no one’s angel after all

Tried to be the best for you
Everything you wanted to
Blinded to the end you clearly see

Devil with a smooth beguile
Hiding in your diamond smile
Everyone could tell except for me

And I
Can’t find the nerve to walk away
And we
Aren’t much of anything at all
And you
Will never stop the games you play
And I

Guess I’m no one’s angel after all

I have to say I’m no one’s angel after all

As it says in my profile, I thrive on honest, constructive criticism! Positive comments are always appreciated, of course, but knowing what *didn't* work for a reader is what really lets me improve as a writer. If your words are polite and well-meant, I promise not to take offense! ;-D
