Your paper wings got ruined in the rain   Coat hanger halo got rusted.   The lace fell off of the dress you made.   You’re the saddest little angel,   Mascara left a sour taste.      And I wish that I was there   When you took that fall   I’m too weak to pick you up,   But I would have lay down   In this puddle beside you,   ‘Cause it’s all that I can do   I didn’t have the heart to tell you,   It’s really bad,   It’s really bad this time.      Like wild horses running scared   From a storm that’s too much to bare.   It’s sad the things you used to fear   Don’t seem so bad   They’re not so bad,   Don’t let them scare you.      I pushed your bed to the window today   You’re still not well enough,   Turned visitors away   I fight these tears by your bedside   How dare I let you see me cry   I didn’t have the heart to tell you,   It’s really bad   It’s really bad this time      Your wings weren’t meant for this,   This weather that no one guessed   No calm before the storm   And it’s gone before the panic sets   So let’s take our time with this   Bleach the mud from off your dress   You much such an innocent mess of all of this      And I wish that I was there   When you took that fall   I’m too weak to pick you up,   But I would have lay down   In this puddle beside you,   ‘Cause it’s all that I can do   I didn’t have the heart to tell you,   It’s really bad,   It’s really bad this time.
