I'm Not an Angel - Ra

With my last breath I tell you this

There’s no regret

My fears were all around, me scratching from the outside

Cause you never have time for everything

And I’m trying my best to let it be

The reasons collide in spite of me and drown in the excuses

As the light begins to fade

I open my eyes

I’m on your side, but I’m not an angel

I’ve taken on all that I can take

Dying inside, 'cause I’m not an angel

Down on my knees for you I reach for heaven’s gate

The breeze is colder than I thought

It looks like rain

Now all these feelings overwhelm the hesitation

Cause you never break free of what you need

And you’re never sure where you’re meant to be

If something good would just plant a seed

These roots would keep from runnin'

As the light begins to fade

I open my eyes

I’m on your side, but I’m not an anagel

I’ve taken on all that I can take

I’m dying inside, 'cause I’m not an angel

Down on my knees for you I reach for heaven’s gate

And if the well runs dry you dig a deeper hole

And if you’re asking why then you’ll never know

That when the dust returns I’ll be your place to hide

And I will salve your burns

And I will tear your cries

I’m on your side, but I’m not an angel

I’ve taken on all that I can take

I’m dying inside, 'cause I’m not an angel

Down on my knees for you I reach for heaven’s gate

Oh, reach for heaven’s gate

Oh, I’m on your side
