[Verse 1]
You came into my life like a hurricane,
An earth angel too wild to ever tame.
I see heaven in your eyes, but it’s too far to reach,
You're a light in the dark, pulling me from the deep.

But I can feel it slipping, the time that we stole,
You belong to the stars, and I’m down in this hole.
I want to hold you, but you’re fading away,
You're not meant for this world, and I’m meant to stay.

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you’re too pure, I know it’s not right,
But damn, I can’t let go, not without a fight.

[Chorus]
She can’t stay, and I can’t go,
She’s got wings, but I’m tied down below.
Our love’s burning out, but I can’t let it die,
I’m chained to this earth, but she's meant for the sky.
She can’t stay, and I can’t go,
God knows I need her, but I know she’ll go.

[Verse 2]
Every touch is a prayer, every kiss a goodbye,
She’s slipping through my hands, but I don’t know why.
I feel her heartbeat, but it’s not mine to keep,
She’s dreaming of forever, but I’m too lost in the deep.

This world’s too heavy for an angel like her,
And I’m trapped in the dust while she’s meant to soar.
But how do I live with this love in my chest,
When she's flying to heaven and I’m left with the rest?

[Pre-Chorus]
I know she’s not mine, and I know she’s not free,
But I still want her here, even if it’s killing me.

[Bridge] (Guitar solo, building emotion)
There’s a silence between us, but it’s screaming inside,
I’m falling to pieces, and I don’t know why.
The stars are calling, she’s answering the sound,
But I’m here, stuck on the ground.

[Outro]
She can’t stay... no, she can’t stay...
And I can’t go... but I can’t let go...
