10. "Sweet Angel"
Alek Vila : Lyrics
Sweet Angel
If I could tell you I love you,
would this pain come out of my head?
You’ve got a grip on my heart,
and I’m dangling by a thread.
Baby, there’s somebody here
who’d like to hold you
‘til the end of time.
There’s gotta be some way
for me to know...
Am I killing myself for nothing?
Is that heart of gold of yours
meant for me?
God, if I could show you what you mean...
You came out of nowhere!
Taking big steps—your eyes a-glow.
You’ve got charm, and you know it.
When you work the room,
it’s like a puppet show.
I was a target for you,
and my soft shell
wasn’t bulletproof.
Was it wrong how you managed
to take me down?
Are you taking my love for granted?
I was caught off guard
when you reached for me.
I surrender can’t you see?
ANGEL, you’re breaking my heart
distant lover,
what kind of game did you start?
Brazen woman,
I want a sign from you.
Show me that your heart is true!
Your bases are covered.
You like to watch your back
along the way.
You make a mess of your lovers.
As you look forward
they see yesterday.
I want a message from you–
that you’re not
ready to let me go.
I’ve got heartache just
standing next to you!
I just want you to know
what I’m made of...
Would you take my hand
before it’s gone?
I’ve been waiting for so long...
ANGEL, you’re breaking my heart
distant lover,
what kind of game did you start?
Brazen woman,
I want a sign from you.
Show me that your heart is true!
