There's an angel by your hospital bed
Desperate to hear his name on your breath
As he looks down you're not making a sound
Open your eyes, look at me
I'll bring to you whatever you need
And I'll tell you I'm sorry
That I can't take this pain away from you
And I'd put it on my own body,
If I knew how to
Can't you see?

I've gotta bust you out of here somehow
I've never seen your heart this tired
I've never seen your spirit held down

I know that you say
This is what you get
For being a bad child
But I know this will be your reward
In just a little while

It's testing the strong ones
Scarring the beautiful ones
It's holding the loved ones
One last time
