In My Bones Ron Pope

I thought I saw an angel
Calling me across the yard
She said 'baby, it's been real
Now I'm gone'
I should've known much better
You can't tame something that wild
When I asked her if she loved me
She just smiled

But it's my fault
I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
Once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and I burned
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts

And my angel with her dirty wings
She used to make me smile
She kept all of her secrets locked inside
In a place I could not reach her
Though I tried with all my might
When I begged for something real she said 'goodbye'

And it's my fault
I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
Once you go, never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and I burned
Oh, you gotta live before you learn
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
