Angels With Broken Wings

I hope you're doing alright

I hope that life ain't got you down

But if it has, you know it's alright

These things'll always turn around

Sometimes you're holding things together

Sometimes they fall apart

Sometimes you're broke, sometimes you're beat-up

Sometimes you get a broken heart

You gotta make mistakes first

Before you ever get it right

We're all just angels with broken wings

Trying to get by

We're all just angels with broken wings

Trying to learn to fly

I have sat there in the darkness

By the light of a cigarette

With an all-consuming sadness

And a gun to my head

I have reached out for the switchblade

Cut another person's noose

I've bled out on the bathroom floor

From a self-inflicted wound

Sometimes you laugh until your face hurts

And your belly gets so sore

You fall down, roll around

And you can't help but laugh some more

You gotta make mistakes first

If you're gonna be forgiven

We're all just angels with broken wings

That's the human condition

We're all just angels with broken wings

And there ain't no way to fix 'em

It's always harder at night

Under the sadness of the moon

I would stay up all night

In the darkness of your room

If you wanted me too

Sometimes you don't have any money
Other times you're flush
Money comes and goes
Along with good luck and love

But hope it springs eternal

That's just the way it goes

And you'll always have me

Just so you know

You gotta make mistakes first

By now you'd think we'd know that well

We're all just angels with broken wings

Trying to make a heaven from a hell

We're all just angels with broken wings

I'll see you all in hell
