*Once I was lost in the cold dark world
Trapped in a cage that was me
My heart felt old and unable to love
And I felt my myslef dying
Unable to breathe

But then out of the shadows came a heavenly form
That lifted and lightened my shame
And washed away the hard outer shell of my being
And he opened his heart up
As I did the same

But no longer had we been together
That he was ripped and torn away
And now I only regret taking time for granted
And never saying what I needed to say

And so my regret only added
To the shame and the guilt and the pain
And once again I was slowing drowning
And all I could do was be mad at the world
But it was all in vain

And then one dark damp morning
I decided that I'd had enough
Of the sorrow and hurt that he'd left me
I was sick of being strong
And tired of being tough

And I went outside to look at the world
For one last time in my life
And I felt like a modern Juliet
Standing outside
With the happy knife

When out of the darkness came a person
One that was engulfed in heaven's light
He looked at me with sad quiet eyes
But had a beauty all their own
Ever so lovely and bright

"Please, my darling lover,
I never meant to cause you such pain
And it pains me to see you so tormented,
Only to lose
Never to gain."

"Please live a life worth living,
And reopen your heart for me,
For as long as you're living,
I'll be your Angel,
As you were to me."

And he set off into the horizon
As far as the eye can see
And now I have a reason for living
To be my the angel for him
As once was for me. *
