Kinda lose your sense of time 'Cause the days don't matter no more All the feelings that you hide Gonna tear you up inside You hope she knows you tried Follows you around all day And you wake up soaking wet 'Cause between this world and eternity There is a face you hope to see You know where you've sent her You sure know where you are You're trying to ease off But you know you won't get far And now she's up there Sings like an angel But you can't hear those words And now she's up there Sings like an angel Unforgivable sinner You've been walking around in tears No answers are there to get You won't ever be the same Someone cries and you're to blame Struggling with a fight inside Sorrow you'll defeat The picture you see it won't disappear Not unpleasant dreams or her voice you hear You know where you've sent her You sure know where you are You're trying to ease off But you know you won't get far And now she's up there Sings like an angel But you can't hear those words And now she's up there Sings like an angel Unforgivable sinner Maybe one time lost But now you're found Stand right up before You hit the ground Maybe one time lost But now you're found Stand right up before You hit the ground, hit the ground You know where you've sent her You sure know where you are You're trying to ease off But you know you won't get far And now she's up there Sings like an angel But you can't hear those words And now she's up there Sings like an angel Unforgivable sinner
