Story Behind the Song
This is a song I wrote during a very difficult period in my life. Listen closely to the words. I write about the things which affect me in everyday life. I feel this seperates me from other artists, who write songs simply for the sake of writing songs. By contrast, I must have a story to tell, and can't write without having something of substance to sing about. Each of my songs are a story about me, and therefore mean very much to me personally.
Lyrics
I abandoned my heart long ago,
for she that held it left it slowly dying on the floor,
and of love it seems all who search find their fill,
but none was found for me.
No there's none found for me.
No I don't want to live anymore,
when each new day brings more pain than the one before,
and every passing hour only helps me realize,
this is killing me.
And now I'm screaming out....
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
DOWN ON MY KNEES,
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
SHE'S ALL I NEED,
AND ONLY FOR MY ANGEL,
DO I BLEED.
Yeah I know that I was cold at times,
but the lack of tender words to soothe was yours not mine,
and you know every morning brings such sorrow when awake I find,
you're not here with me.
No you're not here with me.
And I still have all those photographs,
taken of you when you said our love would always last,
and when staring at that girl who loved me yesterday,
she's staring back at me.
And now she's screaming out....
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
GOD HELP ME PLEASE,
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
HE'S ALL I NEED,
AND ONLY FOR MY ANGEL,
DO I BLEED.
And yeah I've been thinking,
that maybe I'm not good enough,
oh and it takes some time to sink in,
but maybe there's just nothing more to life,
but maybe if I just hold on awhile,
GOD will smile on me,
and part the seas,
of my misery,
and send that girl running back to me.
Then I won't be screaming out....
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
GOD HELP ME PLEASE,
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
SHE'S ALL I NEED,
AND ONLY FOR MY ANGEL,
DO I BLEED.
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
GOD HELP ME PLEASE,
I'M LONELY FOR MY ANGEL,
SHE'S ALL I NEED,
AND ONLY FOR MY ANGEL,
DO I BLEED.
Oh Lord do I bleed,
Lord do I bleed,
Lord do I bleed,
Lord do I bleed.
