lyrics

I walked miles down the highway in the pouring rain,
six o'clock that morning, staring at my feet.
and I searched every crack of broken asphalt for a morsel of hope,
all I found was hopelessness and fool's gold.

These minutes turn to hours, these hours turn to days,
these days turn to weeks, that's why I'm weak at the knees.
the angel of the old me has gone so far away
and now the demons of the present won't stop haunting me.

(chorus)
the angel of the old me hangs above my head as I tear down everything you built with me (rubble where you used to be)
and as i stand upon a mountain of lost hopes I know I'll never learn to trust someone again.
from this height I see it all unfold and I can watch my angel fall apart again. (every mistake, every day)
I wish I had this hindsight, all I have left is review, so next time I can save myself before it's too late.

I sat under the awning of a building, up on Broadway the day that storming rain flooded in the streets.
and when I dragged my feet through pools of water, ankle deep, I knocked on your door and you slammed it in my face.

(chorus)
the angel of the old me hangs above my head while i trudge my tired legs through flooded streets (and I'm struggling just to breathe)
and i try to come to terms with what's gone wrong, I know that it was all my fault, the angel of the old me told me so.

(woah, I'm all alone and this halo) he told me so,
and i trusted you, and I loved you.

(woah, I'm all alone and this halo round my head never forgets to let me know) and he hangs above my head, he hits me every time I try to forget, and lets me know that everything was all my fault.
and that stayed inside of me, I bring it everywhere I go.
you're gone and it's my fault.
