I wrote this as an open letter to a loved one. I had to let go of them for a time, as they were harmful to my health. Eventually, I was able to reconcile from a healthy place, in a healthy way, but this was my process.
[VERSE]:
I never said I was an angel
I never meant to be your hero
You got a secret that I couldn't tell
I'm real good at keeping things to myself
You and me
No one else
Treat me well
Keep me close
I supposed
You keep your makeup on the top shelf
Right with your jewels and inner wisdom
Cause you're always leaning on me
Reaching
Tell me if you can't make it
[Chorus]:
I wanna give
Wanna get
Wanna bet
Wanna dream
Wanna love but I can't yet
I gotta wait
Gotta stay
Gotta know
If I'll see you
When I wake up
I really want to wait up
But this feels made up
[VERSE 2]:
I wonder how much of my power
Slipped through your hands
So I'm careful now
I'm there for now
I've made my amends
You made me your friend
But I don't intend
There's a special kind of loneliness
That holds me down and wraps my chest
I think about when we first met
"I'll be back, don't you cry" you said
And sent away my trust
Packed on your back
And stuck in your dust
So I brought it back myself
With no fear of being left alone
[Chorus]:
I wanna give
Wanna get
Wanna bet
Wanna dream
Wanna love but I can't yet
I gotta wait
Gotta stay
Gotta know
If I'll see you
When I wake up
I really want to wait up
But this feels made up
Angel
