From the recording Angel (You Saved Me Too)
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Found you chained in the mud that day
Eyes too tired to look away
The world forgot you, left you small
But I saw love inside it all
You were bones, but still had grace
A trembling light in a broken place
I promised right there, I’d see you through
Didn’t know you’d heal me too
[Chorus]
Angel, you were more than mine
You were mercy in disguise
Every scar became a sign
That love survives, that hope can rise
You saved me when I didn’t know
What loving someone true could do
Angel, I rescued you
But you saved me too
[Verse 2]
You learned to sleep, you learned to play
Grew strong enough to lead the way
You’d rest your head against my chest
And calm the storms that wouldn’t rest
The years rolled on, your face turned white
But your soul still burned so bright
And even when your body failed
Your heart refused to say farewell
[Chorus]
Angel, you were more than mine
You were mercy in disguise
Every scar became a sign
That love survives, that hope can rise
You saved me when I didn’t know
What loving someone true could do
Angel, I rescued you
..........
[Bridge]
They said time would ease the pain
But time just calls your name
Still, I see your shadow run
Through the morning sun
[Chorus]
Angel, you still shine so near
Every heartbeat says you’re here
Love like yours don’t disappear
It just changes how it’s clear
You saved me when I didn’t know
How deep a heart could bloom
Angel, I rescued you
But you saved me too
[Outro]
Run where the light finds you again
My forever, my best friend
