Struggling with Angels? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Sparkling angel I believed You were my savior in my time of need. Blinded by faith I couldn't hear All the whispers, the warnings so clear. I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door. There's no escape now, No mercy no more. No remorse cause I still remember The smile when you tore me apart. You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wish they would turn into real. You broke the promise and made me realize. It was all just a lie. Sparkling angel, I couldn't see Your dark intentions, your feelings for me. Fallen angel, tell me why? What is the reason, the thorn in your eye? I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door There's no escape now No mercy no more No remorse cause I still remember The smile when you tore me apart You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they would turn into real. You broke the promise and made me realize. It was all just a lie. Could have been forever. Now we have reached the end. This world may have failed you, It doesn't give you reason why. You could have chosen a different path in life. The smile when you tore me apart. You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wish they would turn into real. You broke the promise and made me realize. It was all just a lie. Could have been forever. Now we have reached the end.
