You said I'm an angel,

                                            But baby that's not me,

                                           Cause I am no angel,

                                           I'm only what you see.

                                           What you see is what you get,

                                           But you don't really know,

                                           For you have not seen yet,

                                          The things that I don't show.

                                           You know of monsters under the bed,

                                          Or demons by your side,

                                           Of dark emotions when the light has fled,

                                           Or wanting to give up and hide.

                                           Do you know of nightmares,

                                        Living in the day?

                                           When there is not anywhere,

                                          That you can get away?

                                         Have you ever tried to run,

                                          And been forced to come back home,

                                          Baby I can tell you its no fun,

                                           When the nightmares wont leave you alone.

                                            And have you seen a love so deep,

                                         A love so very true,

                                           No matter what you do you'll keep,

                                          That love that was given to you?

                                            Have you seen such power in the dark,

                                            Then watched it shattered by the light?

                                          Cause baby where you are,

                                            You're loosing every fight.

                                             Have you loved someone,

                                             To the point of physical pain,

                                              Knowing when you care about anyone,

                                             They'll just walk away in the rain?

                                             No one wants me baby,

                                             They never have they never will,

                                            They only want to be,

                                             The one to get a thrill.

                                             You said I'm an angel,

                                               But baby that's not me,

                                             I am no angel,

                                               I'm only what you see.
