I Wish

2:42You pick the wings off angels (angels) The fall is slow and painful (painful) I didn't realize you took my wings when I fell I thought a guardian angel was coming over to help Was it all part of a plan to turn my life into hell? I thought I dug you, I just dug a deeper hole for myself Left in the dark, nothing there to find my way but a gaslight The butterflies inside of me are starting to flat line You drove me to the edge, manipulated, I ran blind The eggshells that I'm walking on are turning to land mines Acted like I'm cheating while you had yourself another man If I'm a ladykiller baby, you would be the son of Sam Sticking with you for a year took some of my life span I should've never even given you a one-night stand Cold feet, I kicked your ass to the curb This ain't the ride of my life, it's just a ride in a hearse You're Insane and narcissistic, girl, I know how this works You ain't gonna let this die 'til you take me with you first You pick the wings off angels The fall is slow and painful And I know it's not what you want, but you can't see If I'm going down, know you're right there with me, oh You pick the wings off angels Angels like me Angels like me Pushed me when I'm crossing over mountains and ridges And made sure I never turned around to notice the bridges That you were burning, now I'm wondering why no one will visit 'Cause you cut me off from everything but told me you fixed it Always fix my wounds by ripping out all the stitches And then convince me all the pain you caused is all self-inflicted I opened up to you and now the doors are off of the hinges And you did something unthinkable you'll always have to live with Remember when you caught two buses out to my house? Said that if I ever leave, that you'd end up in the ground Every word is like a bullet, but I'm not backing down Took you home and said, "It's over," I ain't fuckin' around I got a text from daddy telling me you tried to end it Now you're at the hospital, it's my fault and he meant it I asked for the address, saying let me come defend it Just to find that it's another lie and you're pretending You pick the wings off angels (angels) The fall is slow and painful And I know it's not what you want, but you can't see If I'm going down, know you're right there with me, oh You pick the wings off angels Angels like me Angels like me And I know it's not what you want, but you can't see If I'm going down, know you're right there with me, oh You pick the wings off angels
