 Struggling with No Angel? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Remember once the things you told me
And how the tears ran from my eyes
They didn't fall because it hurt me
I just hate to see you cry
Sometimes I wish we could be strangers
So I didn't have to know your pain
But if I kept myself from danger
This emptiness would feel the same

I ain't no angel, I never was
But I never hurt you, it's not my fault
You see those egg shells, they're broken up
A million pieces, strewn out across the ground

Did you ever really love her
Or was it that you feared letting go
You should have known that you could trust her
But you pretend like I don't know

I ain't no angel, I never was
But I never hurt you, it's not my fault
You see those egg shells, they're broken up
A million pieces, strewn out across the ground

I want to tell you that I'm sorry
But that's not for me to say
You can have my heart, my soul, my body
If you can promise not to go away

I ain't no angel, I never was
But I never hurt you, it's not my fault
You see those egg shells, they're broken up
A million pieces, strewn out across the ground
