She was looking for a way to break free.
Well, the easiest way is to stand up and leave.
But she says, “My heart beats in harmony with his.”
If it’s worth it, just blame the devil you’re bewitched.

There’s really no way to reach you.
This is where you are.
This is where he is.

You ought to let an angel fly away.
Let someone else care what makes her smile.
It’s not fair to force her to denial.
Let an angel fly away.

He always tries to fake it.
You don’t have to take this.
He’ll write the words one more time.
Saying, “baby, I’m sorry I crossed over the line.”

There’s really no way to reach you.
This is where you are.
This is where he is.

You ought to let an angel fly away.
Find someplace that she knows is safe.
Where she’s not trying to take somebody’s place.
Let an angel fly away.

The house is quiet, and it’s all gone dark.
She goes back, thinking she didn’t play the part.
“What if I walked out and left a note saying that I’d gone?
Would you even notice that what I did was wrong?”

There’s really no way to reach you.
This is where you are.
This is where he is.

You ought to let an angel fly away.
She shouldn’t have to carry it all.
Not when you’re claiming to be so strong.
Let an angel fly away.

Maybe there are secrets you don’t want mentioned.
Half the problems are your own invention.
They all come to take what they need.
Soon there won’t be any blood left to bleed.

There’s really no way to reach you.
This is where you are.
This is where he is.

You ought to let an angel fly away.
She’s fallen to the ground,
And no one even had to knock her down.
Let an angel fly away.

He says, “I’m better being on my own side.”
Well, then he can’t see it through your eyes.
When only the walls are breathing,
You’ll understand he’s the one who is deceiving.

There’s really no way to reach you.
This is where you are.
This is where he is.

You ought to let an angel fly away.
