Angels Would Fall Lyrics - Breakdown - Melissa Etheridge

The rope that's wrapped around me 

Is cutting through my skin 

And the doubts that have surrounded me 

Are finding their way in 

I keep it close to me 

Like a holy man prays 

In my desperate hour 

It's better, better that way 

So I'll come by and see you again 

I'll be such a very good friend 

Have mercy on my soul 

I will never let you know 

Where my mind has been

Angels never came down 

There's no one here they want to hang around 

But if they knew 

If they knew you at all 

Then one by one, the angels 

Angels would fall 

I've crept into your temple 

I have slept upon your pew 

I have dreamed of the divinity 

Inside and out of you 

I wanted more than truth 

I can taste it on my breath 

I would give my life, just for a little death 

So I'll come by and see you again 

I'll be just a very good friend 

I will not look upon your face 

I will not touch upon your grace 

Your ecclesiastic skin

Angels never came down 

There's no one here they wanna hang around 

But if they knew 

If they knew you at all 

Then one by one, the angels 

Angels would fall 

Sweet angels 

I'll come by and see you again 

I'll have to be a very good friend 

If I whisper they will know 

I'll just turn around and go 

You will never know my sin 

Angels never came down 

There's no one here they wanna hang around 

But if they knew 

If they knew you at all 

Then one by one, the angels 

Angels would fall 

There's no one here they wanna hang around 

But if they knew 

If they knew you at all 

Then one by one the angels 

Angels would fall 

Oh, angels 

Angels would fall
