Blue October - Angel lyrics
[Blue October - Angel lyrics]
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 the age of 13
My body grows up, but my mind stays the same
Look me in the face, what do you see?
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
But oh, would you be me?
Because I would be you oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
How do you tell your father
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When mom says you'd be better off dead
But, I want to see you, I still wanna see you
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
How do you hold the special victim
When they push you away?
When they've been raped on the inside
Torn on the outside?
The dirt and ugly from the stain
That they try to hide
Touched in private places, embarrassed faces
Too scared to ask for help
Oh, would you be me? Because I would be you
Oh, you'd be happy only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
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?
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 the age of 13
My body grows up, but my mind stays the same
Look me in the face, what do you see?
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
But oh, would you be me?
Because I would be you oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
How do you tell your father
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When mom says you'd be better off dead
But, I want to see you, I still wanna see you
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
How do you hold the special victim
When they push you away?
When they've been raped on the inside
Torn on the outside?
The dirt and ugly from the stain
That they try to hide
Touched in private places, embarrassed faces
Too scared to ask for help
Oh, would you be me? Because I would be you
Oh, you'd be happy only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
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?
