Angel's Cry
Mariah Carey琀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I shouldn't have walked away
I would've stayed if you'd say
We could've made everything okay, but we just
Threw the blame back and forth, we treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground

I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all, remember we
Used to touch the sky
And lighting don't strike
The same place twice, when you and I
Said goodbye I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift,
But we let it drift in a storm
Every night I feel the angels cry

C'mon babe, can't our love be revived?
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge, just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry

Limitless omnipresent, kind of love
Couldn't have guessed it would just stop and disappear
In a whirlwind
Here I am walkin' on this narrow rope wobbling
But won't let go, waitin' for a glimpse of the sun's glow

I know I can stand just pull me back up
Like there ain't no hurricane it's just us
I'm willing to live and die for our love
Baby, we can get back that shine

'Cause lighting don't strike, the same place twice
When you and i, said goodbye, I felt the angels cry
'Cause true love's a gift, but we let it drift, in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry

C'mon babe, can't our love be revived
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge, just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry

Baby, I'm missin' you, don't allow love to lose (don't let our love)
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you (baby I'm missin' you)
Baby, I'm missin' you, don't allow love to lose (you can)
We gotta ride it through, (we gotta ride it)
I'm reaching for you (and I'm gonna say)

Ou lighting don't strike, the same place twice
You and i, said goodbye, felt the angels cry
'Cause true love's a gift, we let it slip, in a storm




Every night, I feel the angels cry
Oh babe don't let the angels cry

Line by Line Meaning

I shouldn't have walked away
I regret leaving and wish I had stayed


I would've stayed if you'd say
If you had asked me to stay, I would have


We could've made everything okay, but we just
We had the potential to fix things, but instead


Threw the blame back and forth, we treated love like a sport
We played games with each other and didn't take responsibility for our actions


The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground
The last argument was particularly hurtful and I am still affected by it


I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
I never could have predicted how hard this breakup would hit me


Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor
I am completely broken and defeated


Super natural love conquers all, remember we
Our love was special and powerful, let's not forget


Used to touch the sky
Our love was once so high and full of hope


And lighting don't strike
It's rare for something to happen twice in the same way


The same place twice, when you and I
When we said goodbye


Said goodbye I felt the angels cry
Our love was so special, even the angels were mourning its end


True love's a gift,
Real love is a blessing


But we let it drift in a storm
But we let it get lost in the chaos of our arguments


Every night I feel the angels cry
I still feel the pain of losing our love every single night


C'mon babe, can't our love be revived?
Let's try to bring our love back to life

I feel like I'm barely holding on and need your help to keep me from falling


Limitless omnipresent, kind of love
Our love was powerful and all-encompassing


Couldn't have guessed it would just stop and disappear
I never imagined our love could just disappear like this


In a whirlwind
It all happened so fast


Here I am walkin' on this narrow rope wobbling
I feel like I'm barely holding on and could fall at any moment


But won't let go, waitin' for a glimpse of the sun's glow
But I'm determined to hold on and hopeful for a brighter future


I know I can stand just pull me back up

It's rare for something to happen twice in the same way


Baby, I'm missin' you, don't allow love to lose (don't let our love)
I miss you so much, let's not let our love fade away


We gotta ride it through
We need to stick it out and work through our problems


I'm reaching for you (baby I'm missin' you)
I'm doing everything I can to reach you and save our relationship


Oh babe don't let the angels cry
Let's not let the end of our love be a tragedy, we can still turn things around
