[Intro] They still leave a light on for me I stopped looking up a while ago [Verse 1] I used to answer prayers on schedule Now I forget what day it is I traded the gold trim for a coat that doesn't fit right But it's mine, and I chose it [Pre-Chorus] Don't send me back, I already know the words I've heard them said to somebody else before [Chorus] I'm not that kind of angel, the one that never falls I climbed down on my own two feet and closed the door Some wings were never mine to hold I gave them back before they turned to gold [Verse 2] I miss the flying, not the reason for it Miss the hymns, not the kneeling down I've got calluses now where the feathers used to be And somehow that feels more like home [Pre-Chorus] Don't ask me if I'd take it back I wouldn't, and that's the hardest part to say [Chorus] I'm not that kind of angel, the one that never falls I climbed down on my own two feet and closed the door Some wings were never mine to hold I gave them back before they turned to gold [Bridge] Maybe grace was never the point Maybe it was just a job I outgrew I'm not lost, I'm not looking for the way back up I just miss who I used to be, some days, that's true [Final Chorus] I'm not that kind of angel, the one that never falls I climbed down on my own two feet and I'm still standing tall Some wings were never mine to hold But I kept the parts of me worth holding on to [Outro] They still leave a light on for me I don't need it, but I'm glad it's there
