My angel

Why do you fight for me, why do you stay?
Like a mother protecting her child
I am a burden, a shame to your presence
I will only bring you down, failure after failure
You don’t want this, you don’t need this
You have a full life to lead, I have an early grave
I didn’t know what unconditional love was
Not until you showed up in my life
Took me by the hand and dragged from the depths
I’m not worthy of the sweet caress in your arms
I’ve been living a life with no regard and discontent
A rebel without a cause, a rabid dog
Why would you want to save me? A sick soul
Why would you look at me? A broken portrait
Why pick me up again? When I have fallen from grace
Why not just desert me like the rest? In my time of need
An angel from heaven is what you are, fell from the sky
To pull the devil away from inside of me
But I can’t change my ways, I was born to live this path
So run far away and don’t look back before it’s too late
And ill be waiting for you one day at Heaven’s Gate
