I just got your message baby So sad to see you fade away What in the world is this feeling To catch a breath and leave me reeling It'll get you in the end, its god's revenge Oh I know I should come clean But I prefer to deceive Everyday I walk alone And pray that god won't see me I know its wrong, I know its wrong Tell me why is it I'm digging your scene I know I'll die baby They put you in a home to fill in But I wouldn't call that living I'm like a boy among man I'd like a permanent friend I'd like to think that I was just myself again Why is it I'm digging your scene I know I'll die baby I just got your message baby So sad to see you fade away I'm like a boy among men I'd like a permanent friend I'd like to think that I was just myself again Why is it I'm digging your scene I know I'll die baby Oh come home baby come on angel
