Angel

She comes home to me after hard night's workin'
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a burden
Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?
She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings, she can't feel
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's flying above me every day
Every day of my life
Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
That weren't even hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all
All the people around her
Never even notice that she's very very tired
She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings
She can't feel
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's rising above me every day
Every day of my life
