How to spot an angel
It's not quite as simple
As the dimples on her shoulders
But the way her wings rise
with her arms froze, above her
In a tight fold
And her lids are closing over
That beautiful blue
So that you can't spot her
No she'll spot you
Chorus
She doesn't want the world to know her story
So she gives her halo to the boys she loves then flies away
that's all she does
In the remnants of her tears
She found a silver
heart she carved into her skin
That will never go away
And she loves you
Oh she loves you
Could she have expressed it in a way?
Maybe she was ashamed
But she dug her own grave
And that saved you a lot of effort
She hopes you won't cry
When you find out where she lays
And her lids are closing over
That beautiful blue
So that you can't spot her
No she'll spot you
Chorus
She doesn't want the world to know her story
So she gives her halo to the boys she loves then flies away
that's all she does
In the remnants of her tears
She found a silver
heart she carved into her skin
That will never go away
She tried to hide behind her past
But it seems her past was made of glass
and her casual stance
Lead them to harass her face
Her wings still gleamed
A midst the lights
And she defied religion as she died
Crossing over, changing sides
Stopped saving lives
It's not quite as simple
As the dimples on her shoulders
But the flicker in her eyes
'fore she closed them for the last time
As the dimples on her shoulders
But the way her wings rise
with her arms froze, above her
In a tight fold
And her lids are closing over
That beautiful blue
So that you can't spot her
No she'll spot you
Chorus
She doesn't want the world to know her story
So she gives her halo to the boys she loves then flies away
that's all she does
In the remnants of her tears
She found a silver
heart she carved into her skin
That will never go away
And she loves you
Oh she loves you
Could she have expressed it in a way?
Maybe she was ashamed
But she dug her own grave
And that saved you a lot of effort
She hopes you won't cry
When you find out where she lays
And her lids are closing over
That beautiful blue
So that you can't spot her
No she'll spot you
Chorus
She doesn't want the world to know her story
So she gives her halo to the boys she loves then flies away
that's all she does
In the remnants of her tears
She found a silver
heart she carved into her skin

She tried to hide behind her past
But it seems her past was made of glass
