Mollie Strickland and Make me an Angel

I’m breaking every time you smile at someone new My heart keeps whispering your name, though I know we’re through I stand in shadows, watching you dance so far away Loving you’s my madness, it haunts me every day

I gave you my heart, you tore it apart, Left me standing in the rain. Every promise you made just faded away, Now I’m drowning in the pain.

I’ve been chasing hearts, like a runaway train, Pouring all my love, and catching only pain. Every smile I give, they take and they go, Tell me why, tell me when, will someone know?

Wanderer, you’re ridin’ alone, Chasin’ shadows where the cold winds moan. Your boots are worn, your heart’s grown hard, Countin’ scars beneath the desert stars.

People see me laughin’, dancin’ in the light, They think my heart’s unbroken, that I’m doin’ alright. But behind this painted grin, there’s a story left untold, A love that slipped away, left my spirit cold.

I’ve been waitin’ by the window, watchin’ time slip slow, Countin’ every star that falls where your shadow used to go. My heart’s a quiet fire, burnin’ soft and low, But it aches for you, in ways you’ll never know.

I’m a woman carved by years, in this quiet town I stay Lines upon my weathered face, dreams that slipped away Kitchen light’s too harsh tonight, walls feel like a cage Wish I could ride the midnight wind, turn another page
