[Intro] They told me angels don't bleed... So what does that make me? [Verse 1] I learned to hide the evidence Behind a perfect face Every cut you left inside of me I covered up with grace You built your throne upon my silence Called my weakness loyalty But every time you pushed me down You woke another part of me [Pre-Chorus] I used to pray you'd change I used to take the blame Now every scar is spelling out The letters of my name [Chorus] Angels don't bleed But I do Angels don't break I've been broken in two If heaven wants perfection Then heaven isn't meant for me I wear my scars like diamonds Look at me! Angels don't bleed But I bleed beautifully [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh Beautifully! Oh-oh-oh-oh You couldn't bury me! [Verse 2] You wanted something delicate Something easy to control A pretty little porcelain heart Without a voice or soul But pressure turns the dust to stone And fire teaches steel You gave me every reason To remember how to feel [Pre-Chorus] I don't need your mercy I don't need your name You can keep the person You were trying to make [Chorus] Angels don't bleed But I do Angels don't break I've been broken in two If heaven wants perfection Then heaven isn't meant for me I wear my scars like diamonds Look at me! Angels don't bleed But I bleed beautifully [Instrumental] Oh-oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh-oh! [Bridge – stripped back] Maybe I was never Supposed to stay untouched Maybe being human Means feeling far too much Maybe all these scars Aren't proof that I was weak They're proof you tried to silence me... And I still learned to speak. [Silence] [Whisper] Listen. [Heavy Breakdown] I AM NOT YOUR ANGEL! I AM NOT YOUR SAINT! I AM EVERY BROKEN THING THAT REFUSED TO STAY THAT WAY! [Choir] Rise! Rise! Rise! [Final Chorus] ANGELS DON'T BLEED BUT I DO! ANGELS DON'T FALL I CAME CRASHING THROUGH! LET HEAVEN KEEP PERFECTION I HAVE SOMETHING BETTER NOW EVERY SCAR YOU GAVE ME IS A REASON TO BE PROUD! ANGELS DON'T BLEED BUT I BLEED BEAUTIFULLY! [Choir + Lead] Beautifully! Beautifully! You couldn't bury me! [Outro] They told me angels don't bleed. Good. I'm not an angel anymore.
