Angel

(album: Palomino - 2022)

I've been afraid all of my life
Crippled with anxiety, shame and doubt
And sometimes, sometimes I'd like to shout
At the top of my lungs and just let it out

What has that fear ever done for me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
But hold me back? Oh
What has jealousy and hate ever done for you
But remind you of what you think you lack?

So, give me love and give me compassion
Self-forgiveness and give me some passion
I love you even if you don't love me, ooh-ooh
I love you even if you can't love me

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

All of this pain that I've kept concealed
Thought if I didn't speak it, it wouldn't be real
But sometimes, sometimes I feel I have to shout
At the top of my lungs and just let it out

What has that fear ever done for me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
But hold me back?

So, give me love and give me compassion
Self-forgiveness and give me some passion
I love you even if you don't love me, ooh-ooh
I love you even if you can't love me

You've been staring at your mirror
Tryna make the picture clearer
But, angel, can't you see who's in front of you?

So, give me love and give me compassion
Self-forgiveness and give me some passion
I love you even if you don't love me

I love you, oh, can't you see you're free?
Oh, angel, can't you see you're free?

Oh, angel, can't you see you're free?
