i used to move on
so quickly

loving boys
left and right

didn't care
who i was giving my heart to

i just needed
someone beside me

someone to make me forget
all my regrets

and i never was capable
of loving myself

so i put my self-worth
in the hands of others

but then you
came around

and i felt it
for the first time

i didn't have to pretend
to be someone else

i didn't have to pretend
to be that damsel in distress

'cause we all know
boys love girls who need them

but with you
i didn't need to hide me

i could say i love me
and i loved it

somewhere along the lines
sometime after all these years

i grew tired of dancing with the devil
and singing myself to sleep

so when an angel came around
i couldn't help but fall on my knees

you were everything i've always wanted
but even angels make you cry

even angels make you want to die
even angels tell you lies

so i ran away
couldn't help that i was scared

being hurt by someone so good
hurt so much more than i ever thought it would

saw your potential
wanted to stay

but you held you heart in your hands
and wouldn't give it away

now i thank you
for letting me know

i'm getting closer to the love
i know i deserve

no more demons
'cause i don't wanna cry anymore
