Blue October - Angel Lyrics






I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see
I feel like a boy the age of 13
My body grows up
But my mind stays the same
Look me in the face
What do you see?

How do you tell an angel
That you don't believe in God?
Why do I feel
Like such a stranger
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone

But oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to

How do you tell your Father,
That you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem like such a bother?
When mom says you'd be better off dead
But I want to see you
I still want to see you
Oh would you call me?
Oh it's not hard too
I'm the first one
Oh you gave birth to
And oh would you write me
On my birthday
Graduation, was yesterday
Yesterday
Oh...

How do you hold the special victim?
When they push you away
When they've been
Raped on the inside
Torn on the outside
The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide
Touched in private places
Embarrassed faces
To scared to ask for help

Oh would you be me?
Because I would be you
Oh you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
Because I would treat you
You'd be happy
Only if you wanted to

I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?

  1. r.... r....

    This is me every verse omg I am in tears. Wow the most amazing song I am just speachless. I love you blue October. Bless you forevermore.

  2. M.... C....

    This song reminds me of my mother and stepfather, we never got along and I suffered abuse from the both of them, both physically and emotionally. All I ever wanted was for them to let me be me and listen to what I had to say.

    Unfortunately they never did and I now have no contact with with my family. For the last 6 weeks, I have been borderline suicidal and I don't know where I would be if not for my girlfriend and her family. They took me in at my most desperate moment and have suffered threats and abuse from my "family" for this. My girlfriend is so lucky to have parents who care enough about her to even take in her boyfriend and it hurts that I couldn't even have a slice of this with my mum and stepfather.

    Blue October have probably saved me from killing myself if I'm being honest and I have every plan to finish my college course and get to university and make something of myself despite what they have put me through.

  3. M.... A....

    I spoiled my daughter and have her more time and love than my own mother ... and more than most mothers give their children ...!!! Love constant attention and stability ... passes friendship love etc...!! I am very proud ...!!! Teens are hard ..!!!

    "How do you tell an angel, that you don't believe in God?"

    This is so accurately reflects how I feel towards my mother that it hurts.

    D.... ....

    It shouldn't hurt. She's the one that's delusional, not you.

  8. A.... G....

    The lyrics for this song aren't correct. It's okay though as I just like being able to hear it when I'm on my phone and iTunes won't transfer songs from cd to phone.

  9. F.... G....

    Well here it is Catherine G. B my story. The reason behind all the pain only wanting more unable to be that stronger man in your life. I wanted to give you the world being special to me since we were kids. I'm sorry for hurting you as i did and i know that i can't let that go. I failed you and never will be able to forgive myself of the pain i caused us both. You made a promise i intend you to keep it by spreading my ashes and not my family for you are my family, friend and heart.

    F.... G....

    Oh, I am more than considerate, and am in no way stuck up.

    I just have a pet peeve for those who cannot bother to check their spelling.
    Makes them look like illiterate fools.

  17. P.... R....

    So will being considerate and less stuck up.

  18. H.... ....

    Only if you wanted to.

  19. D.... ....

    Psycho* talent* curdles* ill, and* disgust* head*

    Proper grammar will get you a long way.

  20. E.... B....

    We all have our own emotions we carry, and when we experience them we know how we want to be treated and if someone walked in our shoes how we would treat them. I love this song.
