Heaven

  • I don't believe that we were ever meant to be
    Left underneath the light of dying stars
    Push me off of the edge of the world
    Watch me as I slowly fall apart

    Set fire to the roof of your house
    And waited for the sirens to wail
    Left your favorite records to melt
    Listened as you damned me to hell

    Angel wings at the bus stop
    Halos left on top of the bar
    Heaven doesn't want me now
    Heaven doesn't want me
    Angel wings at the bus stop
    Halos left on top of the bar
    Heaven doesn't want me now
    Heaven doesn't want me

    Well what did I think would happen
    I wouldn't dream of asking you and it
    Healed for me, so long
    I lived in fear that you moved on

    What have I done to us it seems?
    I've broken trust and shattered dreams
    I only wish I'd spoken up
    Loneliness since we broke up

    Angel wings at the bus stop
    Halos left on top of the bar
    Heaven doesn't want me now
    Heaven doesn't want me
    Angel wings at the bus stop
    Halos left on top of the bar
    Heaven doesn't want me now
    Heaven doesn't want me

    Say a prayer that you'll make it to the other side
    It won't make no sense and you'll lose your mind
    We're lost in our ways
    Nothing left to say, no
    Make a wish that you'll get a chance to say goodbye
    Before the shots ring out in the dead of night
    We're stuck in our ways
    I've got so much to say, oh
    Showed up like shadows in this crowd
    Brought the fire blinding
    Came here to quickly tear us down, down, down

    Angel wings at the bus stop
    Halos left on top of the bar
    Heaven doesn't want me now
    Heaven doesn't want me
    Angel wings at the bus stop
    Halos left on top of the bar
    Heaven doesn't want me now
