[Verse 1]
It's getting really hard just to live these days
My life's in a blur, I can't see straight
It's hard to play the hand that was dealt to me, the past I'm running from won't set me free
I don't think I'll ever change these ways
[Pre-Chorus]
Took a wrong turn and now I'm lost
Smoke still burns on every bridge I cross
[Chorus]
I've been down this road before
It's just not what it seems
I've learned every open door
Isn't always what you need
Poverty laid to follow dreams
I watch them fall like autumn leaves
And honestly, even angels cry
Even angels cry
[Post-Chorus]
Even angels cry
[Verse 2]
I been feeling pressure and I been feeling reckless
Since I was an adolescent I could snap at any second
Long nights and Adderall, cocaine and alcohol
Mind racing, my hearts dribbling like a basketball
And I feel like I'm going insane
When I'm knowing there's no way I will change
The angels that used to lead me, now they torture my soul
Feeling confusion as I'm moving towards this fork in the road
[Pre-Chorus]
Took a wrong turn and now I'm lost
Smoke still burns on every bridge I cross
[Chorus]
I've been down this road before
It's just not what it seems
I've learned every open door
Isn't always what you need
Poverty laid to follow dreams
I watch them fall like autumn leaves
And honestly, even angels cry
Even angels cry
[Post-Chorus]
Even angels cry
[Outro]
Even angels cry
Even angels cry
