lyrics

I’ve got a broken angel
With one last shiny wing
She circles up above me
She likes to hear me sing

I’ve got a broken angel
Does she believe in me?
I got her halo dirty but
My penny gets it clean

She’s had the same old trouble
I’m practically her double
Came down one day to meet me
Specifically to greet me

Didn’t know she was tryna read me
My read was she deceived me
And never quite received me
Just skimmed me like a weekly
Now I’m down here ringing my bell
To see if hers will ring well
As always time is the tell
And my time can break any spell

I’ve got a broken angel
Her number I can’t find
She’s not home anyways
She’s out busy being kind

Oh my god do you know
Where the broken angels go?
I think mine’s in Mexico
If she is, won’t you tell me so?

I’ve got a broken angel
I met her once before
She saw me standing outside
She opened up the door

I've got a broken angel
Does she believe in me?
I got her halo dirty but
My penny gets it clean
