Better Angels Lyrics by Matt Stell & Ne-Yo
Well don’t drive faster than your angels fly
It’s pinned to the visor on a driver’s side
Now I don’t know what not to do, oh, ’cause when
When she tore out, they flew away too, hey
I had it all, but now it’s over
Got a broken heart and an empty shoulder
Where the voice of reason, it used to be
Now there ain’t nobody telling me
Don’t throw away that kind of love
But they weren’t whispering loud enough
I let the devil run the table
I guess I needed better angels
Now where were these angels when I
Got drunk and told her goodbye?
Probably somewhere drunk too
Talking ’bout, “How did we get stuck with this fool?”
I thought that they would show me what the truth is
And stop me from doing something stupid
She was life, then I watched her walk out of mine
Then watched my angels follow right behind, oh
I had it all, and now it’s over
I had it all, now it’s over
Got a broken heart and an empty shoulder
A broken heart
Where the voice of reason, it used to be
Now there ain’t nobody telling me
Don’t throw away that kind of love
But they weren’t whispering loud enough
I let the devil run the table
I guess I needed better angels
If only I could get hell to pay
Then everything good won’t fly away
Fly
Fly
I had it all, but now it’s over
Got a broken heart and an empty shoulder
Where the voice of reason it used to be
Now there ain’t nobody telling me
Don’t throw away that kind of love
But they weren’t whispering loud enough
I let the devil run the table
I guess I needed better angels
Better angels
I guess I needed
I guess I needed
I guess I needed
Better angels
