Broken Angel

Here sits an angel all torn apart
Her spirit is broken, and so is her heart
All she wanted was love and for someone to care
But when she looked around, no one was there

The pain runs deep; you can see it in her eyes
Throughout her life, she's been told nothing but lies
With every breath taken, she sheds another tear
She wishes for someone to come and take away her fear

She's tired of hurting; she can't handle any more pain
How much sorrow can one's life contain?
She longs to be held, each and every day
But everyone leaves, no one chooses to stay

During the day she pretends to be happy and strong
And searches for a place she feels she can belong
She'll take the pain from deep within her heart
And hide it from everyone right from the start

The quietly she kneels as she begins to pray
For God to come down and take her away
Her emotions are numb, she's tired of trying
The thought of being alone leaves her crying

The night has come, the moon is bright
The stars are out; what a beautiful sight
Yet hears sits an angel all torn apart
Her spirit is broken and so is her heart
