Angels At War

Precious seconds turn to stone as the minutes come and go
And the hours and days become years
You lit up my soul, my reason to push on
My reason to face all my fears

And I remember so, your little face wrapped in my arms
Your eyes that said we got this
Said I'd never let you go, but I was only 21
Shouldn't matter, but I think it did

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You been missing from this space
Maybe I let you down one too many times and lost your faith

I feel empty in my soul when I think of you alone
So many times, so far away
Consumed by what I thought was the answer to it all
But my answer pushed you further away

And I thought you'd understand, see that I should be the man
Collect the pieces, rebuild a nest
But the answer was simple like it always was before
I should've just held you chest to chest

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You been missing from this space
Maybe I let you down one too many times and lost your faith

The angels at war in my mind tell me where I went wrong
The angels at war in my heart keep me guessing, wanting more
The angels at war in brain say there's nothing more I could have done
Maybe I been an angel at war with myself now for too long

Said I'd never let you go, but I was only 21
Shouldn't matter, but I think it did
