I thought I saw and angel calling me across the yard
she said baby, it's been real, but now I'm gone
I should've known much better, you can't tame something that wild
when I asked her if she loved me she just smiled
but it's my fault, I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed, I have burned
oh, you gotta live before you learrn
but I wanted the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts
and my angel with her dirty wings
she used to make me smile
she kept all of her secrets locked inside
in a place I could not reach her
though I tried with all my might
and when I begged for something real she said goodbye
and it's my fault, I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed, and I've burned
oh, you gotta live before you learn
and I wanted the truth, but sometimes the truth hurts
and I am sure I'll be just fine
if I remember she wasn't ever mine
and I am sure I'll be just fine
if I remember she wasn't ever mine
and the truth about the two of us is we don't make no sense
when we made love our love was just pretend
and now I'm trying to forget her
but I feel her in my bones
and I wonder if she thinks of me at all
but it's my fault, I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed, I have burned
oh, you gotta live before you learrn
but I wanted the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts
and I wanted the truth, but sometimes the truth hurts
