The Angel in You

I still can’t help but feel
like an absolute heel
And I can’t help but to shed these tears
To let out in sobs all of my fears

The pain, the guilt, they crawl under my skin
When I’m talking to you, I can barely hold it in
Every surge of pain causes my hairs to stand
My heart flips and I wait for it to land

My hands are cold against this keyboard
As I pray for the forgiveness of my one and only Lord
The only thing I want is for you to hold me
For you to wipe away my tears, baby

Everyone tells me not to burden my heart
But I feel like I must because I set you apart
I can see the angel in you
Now if only I could see the angel in me, too…
