Angel

How do you tell an angel That you don't believe in God? And why do I feel Like such a stranger? 'Cause when I look around And all my friends are gone But oh, would you be me? 'Cause I would be you Oh, you'd be happy Only if you wanted to And oh, would you trade me? 'Cause I would trade you Oh, you'd be happy But only if you wanted to And how do you tell your father That you want him to notice you? And why does this seem Like such a bother? When mom says you'd be better off dead But I want to see you, I still want to see you But oh, would you call me? Oh, it's not hard to Yeah, I'm the first one That you gave birth to Yeah, oh, would you write me On my birthday? 'Cause graduation That shit was yesterday And how do you hold the victim When they push you away? Listen, when they've been Raped on the inside Torn on the outside The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide Touched in private places And embarrassed faces To scared to ask for help Why, but oh, would you be me? 'Cause I would be you Yeah, oh, you'd be happy Yeah, only if you wanted to And oh, would you trade me? 'Cuz, I would trade you Oh, you'd be happy But only if you wanted to But I say no I'm wishing the bath water clean She hides in the back and is unseen I take off this mask that surrounds me Look me in the face What do you see?
