I thought I saw an angel calling me across the yard
She said “ Baby it ' s been real but now I ' m gone ”
I should ' ve known much better you can ' t tame something that wild;
When I asked her if she loved me she just smiled
It's my fault I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
Once you go never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and then I burned
Oh you gotta live before you learn
I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
My angel with her dirty wings she used to make me smile
But she kept all of her secrets locked inside
In a place I could not reach her though I tried with all my might
And when I begged for something real she said goodbye
It's my fault I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
Once you go never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and then I burned
Oh you gotta live before you learn
I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And I am sure I'll be just fine
If I remember she wasn't ever mine
And I am sure I'll be just fine
If I remember she wasn't ever mine
And the truth about the two of us is we don't make no sense
When we made love our love was just pretend
Now I'm trying to forget her though I feel her in my bones
And I wonder if she thinks of me at all
It's my fault I don't care
I can't hate you if you're not here
Once you go never ever turn around
I have sacrificed and then I burned
Oh you gotta live before you learn
I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
And I wanted the truth but sometimes the truth hurts
