Falling Angel
by: Co.roRising high.....in the morning and the night.
Feeling low.....never knowing where you'll fall.
Hypnotized.....nothing can make you feel this way.
No way out.....cause now you're trap and can't go back.
Why couldn't you come to me.
Knowing I'll be there for you.
Is love so strong, why can't you turn around and look for me.
My baby I love you!
(CHORUS)
Don't do the things you do.
My fallen angel, my heartbreak love.
Make your body turn away.
So give it up baby!
So look at yourself now.
Can't speak true words.
Only deception looks your way.
Deception looks your way.
And so you're alone now.
Turned away from friends.
Look in the mirror.
And can't you see.
So now can't you see my baby!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Why couldn't you come to me.
Knowing I'll be there for you.
Is love so strong, why can't you turn around and look for me.
My baby I love you!
