Angel in the Shadows

I've been awake too many nights
 Waiting for sleep to overtake me
 Carried my load down that long winding road
 The one that I swore wouldn't break me
 Time is going faster
 Days slipping by
 She's here, and still I don't know why
 She my Angel in the Shadows
 My hero on the run
 Keeps me holding on
 When all the hope is gone
 I got caught up in the riptide
 I was lost out at sea
 She's the Angel in the Shadows for me
 I spend my days with a smile on my face
 Oh, I keep my friends amused
 But late at night, all the memories crowd back in
 Of people, using and misused
 And yes, I've been forsaken
 And yes, I've been alone
 And looking for a light to guide me home
 She my Angel in the Shadows
 My hero on the run
 Keeps me holding on
 When all the hope is gone
 I got caught up in the riptide
 I was lost out at sea
 She's the Angel in the Shadows for me
 And if confusion follows me
 And debt and worry keep me company
 When nobody knows the pain inside of me
 She knows
 And when I think about it
 The way things might have been
 Mistakes made, again and again and again
 She my Angel in the Shadows
 My hero on the run
 Keeps me holding on
 When all the hope is gone
 I got caught up in the riptide
 I was lost out at sea
 She's the Angel in the Shadows for me
