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
