Boyce Avenue - Broken Angel Lyrics

You showed him all the best of you,
but I'm afraid your best wasn't good enough.
And knowing he never wanted you,
at least not the way you wanted yourself to be loved.

And you feel like you were a mistake,
he's no warmth, all those tears won't go away.
I wish you could see that,
so you try to impress him, but he never will listen.

(chorus)
Oh broken angel,
were you sad when he crushed all your dreams.
Oh broken angel,
inside you're dying, 'cause you can't believe.

Oh you can't believe.

And now you've grown up,
with this notion that you were to blame.
And you seem so strong sometimes,
but I know you still feel the same.

As a little girl, you shined like an angel,
even after his lazy heart put you through hell.
I wish you could see that,
still you try to impress him, but he never will listen.

(chorus)
Oh broken angel,
were you sad when he crushed all your dreams.
Oh broken angel,
inside you're dying, 'cause you can't believe.

He would leave you alone, and leave you so cold,
when you were his daughter.
But the blood in your veins, as you carry his name,
turns thinner than water.

You're just a broken angel (angel).
You're just a broken angel (oh angel).

And I promise that it's not your fault,
it was never your fault.
And I promise that it's not your fault,
it was never your fault.

(chorus)
Oh broken angel,
were you sad when he crushed all your dreams.
Oh broken angel,
inside you're dying, 'cause you can't believe.

He would leave you alone, and leave you so cold,
when you were his daughter.
But the blood in your veins, as you carry his name,
turns thinner than water.

Oh he would leave you alone, and leave you so cold,
when you were his daughter.
But the blood in your veins, as you carry his name,
turns thinner than water.

You're just a broken angel (angel).
You're just a broken angel (oh angel).

And I promise that it's not your fault,
it was never your fault.
And I promise that it's not your fault,
it was never your fault.
And I promise (promise) that it's not your fault,
it was never your fault.
