She plays violent games of pretend

And thinks she’ll never know

What’s deep inside as she cries

There’s things that she won’t show

Her heart, it beats so emptily

As her life begins to fall away

She can’t conceive the truth

That someone really loves her

Chorus (1):

Oh as time passes who will hear her

As she screams down on these streets

She can’t imagine who is with her

Only knows who’s against her

But she’s willing to believe in angels

She only wants to feel loved

And she prays something special

Never knowing her angel’s already there

He is someone everyone loves

And he plays their games to please them

While inside he is broken

His ersatz mask holding him up

And on this fine line he will walk

All the while he breaks

His feet stand not far from edge

Not knowing someone wants him to come home

Chorus(2):

Oh as time passes who will hear him

As he screams down on these streets

He can’t imagine who is caring

And he’s sure of danger everywhere

He is willing to believe in angels

Always wanting someone with him

And he prays for something special

Never knowing his angel’s already there

Bridge:

Everyone falls

Everyone breaks

That’s why, that’s why,

That’s why there are angels

Always there to

Hold us as we break

To carry our pain

And make us be strong

Just believe

Just believe

Just believe

And they’re there for you

Chorus(3):

Oh as time passes who will hear them

As they scream down on these streets

They can’t imagine who is with them

But they know who’s against them

Just believe, just believe in angels

And you’ll have someone with you

Just pray for something special

And an angel will already be there

Just believe…
