Angels Cry
Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In "Angels Cry," Mariah Carey sings about a lost love that she believes was truly special. The song is an emotional ballad that speaks about the love that was once strong and beautiful but has now been destroyed by the couple's inability to communicate and work out their issues. The lyrics in the chorus mention how she felt the angels cry when she and her lover said goodbye because they wasted the gift of true love, which should have been cherished and nurtured.
The verses talk about how they treated love like a game, constantly throwing blame back and forth instead of trying to fix things. When things got too far and they finally broke up, Mariah was devastated and unprepared for the pain she would feel. She compares their love to natural disasters, saying that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, but the pain she feels every night as she remembers their love is just as strong and raw as the first time.
However, she's still hopeful that they can rekindle their love, as she sings about wanting to revive their relationship and bring it to a better place. She's on the edge, trying to survive as the angels cry, referring to her pain and regret that true love wasn't enough to keep them together. Mariah is still reaching out to her lover, hoping that he'll come back to her and that they can rekindle their love.

I shouldn't have walked away
I regret leaving, I wish I had stayed
I would've stayed if you'd say
If you had asked me to stay, I wouldn't have left
We could've made everything okay, but we just
We had the power to fix things, but we didn't
Threw the blame back and forth, we treated love like a sport
We played the blame game and didn't take responsibility for our actions, like it was a game
The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground
The last hurtful thing you did to me was too much, I am still hurting
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
I wasn't ready for the hurt and pain of the breakup
Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor
I am completely broken, lying on the floor
Super natural love conquers all, remember we
Love that transcends the natural world can overcome any obstacle, let's remember
Used to touch the sky
We used to feel like we were on top of the world, so in love
And lighting don't strike
Lightning is rare and unpredictable, just like our love
The same place twice, when you and I
Our love can't happen again in the same way because we are not the same people we were before
Said goodbye I felt the angels cry
Our love was so beautiful and special, it made the angels cry when we ended things
True love's a gift,
True love is precious and unique
But we let it drift in a storm
Despite its value, we allowed our love to drift away in the chaos and turbulence of our lives
Every night I feel the angels cry
The pain of losing our love is so intense that even the angels cry alongside me each night
C'mon babe, can't our love be revived?
Let's try to bring our love back to life
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
If we can bring our love back, we will fix things and make it work
I'm on the edge, just tryin' to survive
I am barely holding on, trying my best to keep going
As the angels cry
Even though we are in pain, we can still feel the presence of the angels
Limitless omnipresent, kind of love
Our love was all-encompassing and infinite
Couldn't have guessed it would just stop and disappear
We never thought that our love would end or vanish completely
In a whirlwind
Our relationship was chaotic and unpredictable
Here I am walkin' on this narrow rope wobbling
I am struggling to keep my balance, trying to stay afloat
But won't let go, waitin' for a glimpse of the sun's glow
I won't give up, holding onto hope for a brighter future
I know I can stand just pull me back up

We can rekindle the intensity and brilliance of our love

I am missing you and I don't want our love to fade away
We gotta ride it through
We need to stick together and go through the ups and downs of life together
I'm reaching for you (baby I'm missin' you)
I am trying to connect with you emotionally, missing the bond we had
Ou lighting don't strike, the same place twice
Our love was rare and unique, we can't expect it to happen again
You and i, said goodbye, felt the angels cry
Our breakup was heartbreaking, even the angels felt the loss
'Cause true love's a gift, we let it slip, in a storm
Our love was special and we didn't fight hard enough to keep it in the face of hardship
Oh babe don't let the angels cry
Let's work together to save our love and prevent any further heartbreak

"Angels Cry (Remix)"
(feat. Ne-Yo)
[Mariah:]
I shouldn't have walked away
I would've stayed if you said
We could've made everything OK
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
'Member we used to touch the sky
And lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
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
[Ne-Yo:]
I thought we'd be forever and always
You were serenity
You took away the bad days
Didn't always treat you right
But it was OK
I do somethin' stupid
And you still stay with me
But you can only go for so long
Doing the one you claim to love wrong
Before too much is enough
You look up
Find your love gone
And
We were so good together
How come we could not weather
This storm and just do better
Why did we say goodbye
'Cause lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
We let it drift
In a storm
Now every night
I feel the angels cry
[Mariah & Ne-Yo:]
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
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
Baby I'm missin' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
Lightning 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 slip
In a storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry
Oh babe, the angels cry
