An angel cries on the street corner tonight and only I can see her. [VERSE 1] Her tears shine bright, alight against backdrop falling snow, quietly she steps into crowd anonymous of shoppers and lovers, shakers and movers, all busy to get somewhere that she won't be tonight... [PRECHORUS] How did they leave you? how did they leave you? How did they leave you like this? [CHORUS] Pity the self-foresaken None can lead her from this path Wrestling her demons and losing Wrestling the nights reassurance That day is looming nigh Plummeting, unstoppable From whence she'd been held most high [VERSE 2] I see her pause to look up at the sky, avoiding glances penitent, she smiles for a second tshattering pain, laughs for another, And then she cries again [PRECHORUS] How did they break you? how did they break you? How did they break you like this? [CHORUS] Pity the self-foresaken No one led her on this path Wrestling her nightmare quandry Wrestling wanton righteousness An offering satiating emptiness Unrelenting promises Scattered words of pillow breath [VERSE 3] she turns a corner and blends away into the frozen faces in the storm another soul lost on the road another heart crushed with a careless touch another heart with no more love another fire goes cold tonight as the daylight fades with the winter wind. [FINAL CHORUS] Disjointed fall to grace unheeded Rage blistered reality pens despair Cordially dismantle frivolity scorned Cordially discard trace empathy Unfeel the past unwinding Hypothermic embrace dismiss abrasion actiones nostras miseretur actiones nostras miseretur actiones nostras miseretur
