Angel
Allison Crowe Lyrics

Spend all your time waiting
You are constantly waiting for something good to happen, hoping for a chance to turn things around.

For that second chance
You are looking for another opportunity to make things right, to fix what has gone wrong.

For a break that would make it okay
You are hoping for a lucky break that will make everything better and relieve the pain.

There's always one reason
There is always one reason why you feel like you are not good enough and feel inadequate.

To feel not good enough
You often feel not good enough, like you are not worthy of love or respect.

And it's hard at the end of the day
It is difficult to deal with these feelings at the end of the day, when everything seems to weigh down on you.

I need some distraction
You need something to take your mind off of your problems, even for a little while.

Oh beautiful release
You long for some kind of relief, to be released from the pain and exhaustion.

Memory seeps from my veins
You feel like the memories and emotions are slowly draining you, taking their toll on your body and mind.

Let me be empty
You almost wish to be completely empty, to feel nothing at all, just to escape the pain.

And weightless and maybe
You want to feel light and free, without the burdens that you carry every day.

I'll find some peace tonight
You hope that you can find some peace and comfort, even if only for a night.

In the arms of an angel
You are seeking comfort and refuge in the arms of an angel, looking for protection and care.

Fly away from here
You want to escape from where you are, to leave behind the pain and suffering behind.

From this dark cold hotel room
You feel trapped and constricted in your current surroundings, like you are stuck in a dark and cold place.

And the endlessness that you fear
You fear the endlessness of your problems, the fact that they seem to go on and on with no end in sight.

You are pulled from the wreckage
You are removed from the destruction and chaos that surrounds you, brought to a place of warmth and safety.

Of your silent reverie
You are released from the inner turmoil and pain that you have been silently enduring.

May you find some comfort there
You hope that the angel will provide you with comfort, care, and relief from your pain.

So tired of the straight line
You are tired of living a predictable and ordinary life, following the straight path that society expects of you.

And everywhere you turn
No matter where you look, you are surrounded by people who want to take advantage of you or bring you down.

There's vultures and thieves at your back
You feel like you are being pursued by people who want to take what you have or destroy what you have built.

And the storm keeps on twisting
The chaos and confusion in your life continue to grow and swirl around you, never letting you find a moment of peace.

You keep on building the lie
Despite everything, you keep pretending that everything is okay, building a facade to hide your true emotions.

That you make up for all that you lack
You try to compensate for your shortcomings and failures by convincing yourself that you are doing well.

It don't make no difference
It doesn't matter how hard you try or how much effort you put in, you feel like you are not making any progress.

Escaping one last time
You hope to escape from all of this one last time, to be free of the pain and suffering that has been weighing you down.

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
You find it easier to believe in the possibility of something miraculous or unbelievable happening, than to accept the reality of your situation.

This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
You are consumed by a feeling of sadness and despair that is both overwhelming and awe-inspiring.

May you find some comfort here
You hope that wherever you go, you will be able to find some peace, comfort, and relief from the pain and suffering.
