Angel In The Shadows

I've been awake too many nights
Waiting for sleep to overtake me
Carried my load down that long, winding road
The one that I swore wouldn't break me
Time is going faster, days slipping by
She's here, and still I don't know why

She's an angel in the shadows, a hero on the run
Keeps me holding on when all the hope is gone
I got caught up in a riptide, I was lost out at sea
She's the angel in the shadows for me

I go through the days with a smile on my face
Oh, I keep my friends amused
Late at night, memories crowd on in
People used and misused
Yes, I've been forsaken, yes, I've been alone
Looking for the light to guide me home

She's an angel in the shadows, a hero on the run
Keeps me holding on when all the hope is gone
I got caught up in a riptide, I was lost out at sea
She's the angel in the shadows for me

If confusion follows me
Dead worry keeping company
When nobody knows the pain inside of me
She knows

When I think about it, the way things might have been
Mistakes made again and again and again

She's my angel in the shadows, my hero on the run
Keeps me holding on when all the hope is gone
I got caught up in a riptide, I was lost out at sea
She's the angel in the shadows for me
She's the angel in the shadows for me
She's the angel in the shadows for me
