  • I shouldn't have walked away
    I would've stayed if you'd say
    We could've made everything okay, but we just
    Threw the blame back and forth, we treated love like a sport
    The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground

    I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
    Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor
    Super natural love conquers all, remember we
    Used to touch the sky
    And lighting don't strike
    The same place twice, when you and I,
    Said goodbye I felt the angels cry
    True love's a gift,
    But we let it drift in a storm
    Every night I feel the angels cry

    C'mon babe, can't our love be revived?
    Bring it back and we gon' make it right
    I'm on the edge, just tryin' to survive
    As the angels cry

    Limitless omnipresent, kind of love
    Couldn't have guessed it would just stop and disappear
    In a whirlwind
    Here I am walkin' on this narrow rope wobbling
    But won't let go, waitin' for a glimpse of the sun's glow

    I know I can stand just pull me back up
    Like there ain't no hurricane it's just us
    I'm willing to live and die for our love
    Baby, we can get back that shine

    'Cause lighting don't strike, the same place twice
    When you and I, said goodbye, I felt the angels cry
    'Cause true love's a gift, but we let it drift, in a storm
    Every night, I feel the angels cry

    C'mon babe, can't our love be revived
    Bring it back and we gon' make it right
    I'm on the edge, just tryin' to survive
    As the angels cry

    Baby, I'm missin' you, don't allow love to lose (Don't let our love)
    We gotta ride it through,
    I'm reaching for you (Baby I'm missin' you)
    Baby, I'm missin' you, don't allow love to lose (You can)
    We gotta ride it through, (We gotta ride it)
    I'm reaching for you (And I'm gonna say)

    Ou lighting don't strike, the same place twice
    You and I, said goodbye, felt the angels cry
    'Cause true love's a gift, we let it slip, in a storm
    Every night, I feel the angels cry,
    Oh babe don't let the angels cry Writer/s: C. JOHNSON, CHRISTOPHER A. STEWART, JAMES QUENTON WRIGHT, MARIAH CAREY
