Broken Angel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your coat on the kitchen chair Like you might come back before the kettle cools I keep the hallway lamp burning there Though morning keeps proving me a fool [Pre-Chorus] I know the shape of every quiet room I know how long a night can take [Chorus] I’m so lonely, broken angel With your wings folded under the bed If you can hear me through the ceiling Come sit beside me instead I’m so lonely, broken angel Still saving a place where you stood I don’t need you to fix me Just stay till I’m good [Verse 2] Your blue mug waits by the sink untouched A ring of tea gone brown around the rim I tell the neighbors I’m doing fine Then count the hours till the house goes dim [Pre-Chorus] I know the words I’m meant to say They don’t sound true when you’re away [Chorus] I’m so lonely, broken angel With your wings folded under the bed If you can hear me through the ceiling Come sit beside me instead I’m so lonely, broken angel Still saving a place where you stood I don’t need you to fix me Just stay till I’m good [Bridge] Maybe morning won’t make it easy Maybe healing takes its time But I can leave the door unlatched And let the first light find mine [Final Chorus] I’m so lonely, broken angel But I’m lifting my head from the bed If you can hear me through the ceiling I’ll carry your name ahead I’m so lonely, broken angel Still learning to stand where I stood I don’t need you to fix me Just stay till I’m good [Outro] Just stay till I’m good
