I found you broken on the ground
From your mouth a bitter sound
That became sweeter as I approached
You in your deepest agony

I put you up and raised you well
And more than stories ever tell
I fell in love with you those days
And hoped that you would too

You've been a fallen angel
Ripped out of the sky
But as your wings grew strong enough
You left me - behind to die

We built up our own world together
For our future I assumed
I believed in what you said that day
But was already doomed

The more you've learned and grown
The less you cared for me
But I was too blinded by my feelings
To see the dawning agony

You've been a fallen angel
Ripped out of the sky
But as your wings grew strong enough
You left me - behind to die

You've been a fallen angel
Ripped out of the sky
But as your wings grew strong enough
You left me - behind to die

I love you more than I can say
And we will never part
You told me nearly every day
But still you broke my heart

As soon as you could fly again
Into the open sky
You left me without any reason
Back on this world to die

You've been a fallen angel
Ripped out of the sky
But as your wings grew strong enough
You left me - behind to die

You've been a fallen angel
Ripped out of the sky
But as your wings grew strong enough
You left me - behind to die
