Angel from "City of Angels"

 Angel

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

We all go through life with our ups and downs. 
We all wish we could go back and change things. 
We all want things to turn out a certain way. 
We all hope to find the things that make us happy. 
Yet no matter how happy we become, there will always be this one part we find disappointment in. 
We try and try and try...to satisfy the ones around us...and long for that moment of peace. 
When we find it, we struggle to hold on to it.
We become more impatient and the cycle goes on and on and on...
The problem is with trying to choose between satisfying youself or the others
You end up sacrificing for the others and give them excuses and try to make sense of things
But NO there aren't any answers for those Q's in your head that will help you find your sane self again.
So we wish for that angel.
The one in our head.
Who will take our pain away
To make us forget.

Why were we born?
I believe everyone relates to to this powerful song, which is why I'm sharing it with you. Just to let you know that your not alone...we are  on the same boat... that will sink one day.

I would share my own version of this, but I don't know how to do that with tracks!I  forgot to add that it's my fave song of all time!

I love that song! It never gets old or boring, one of my all time favorites ;*

I guess we all feel that every once in a while and wonder about things. Questions that we can never answer and hope for an "angel" to make it all better

hit the nail right on the head with that..

city of angels is a movie that will never get old, especially when his friend asked him, had you known she would die, would you still have done it? and he said yes.

he says something like that one breathe of hers is worth more than living eternally..:D

yeah it's true we always try to satisfy others thinking it will statisfy yourself or even them doing the same thing back to u!

It's a funny world!
