We can’t change who we are but sometimes we can play convincing roles
we think we run things here but this life is not ours to control
if I didn’t make things clear, there was one thing that I knew
I could never forgive myself fo ever hurting you

The devil is just a fallen angel and I am just a man
I wish I could change circumstances but I’ve done the best I can

I didn’t know I was contagious untill I saw you getting sick, and I knew I had to run
so if I’m going then I think it’s time for me to start
A better time will never come
and if I don’t look back, it’s not because I didn’t love you
It’s just that I’ll be paralyzed if I don’t find a way to stop thinking of you

The devil is just a fallen angel and I am just a man
I wish I could change circumstances but I’ve done the best I can

Fallen angel, fallen angel
now I understand your fate
looking on at something so beautiful
that you can’t touch, no matter how long you wait

now I’m out here on my own and everything I own is all that’s in my heart
I try to see the meaning of each moment
but it’s not easy when you know what could’ve been
