Iron Jawed Angel

(album: Street Prowl - 2011)

She said, "mijo, no te preocupes" but every time I hear those words
They make me feel useless.
I see her busted open on the kitchen floor.
She kisses my tears and tells me not to worry anymore.
What do you know about crying to the sky?
I watched her whole life pour right out of her eyes.
Too many times I've seen her cry herself to sleep.
I would've taken every hit if it meant she slept in peace.
"My iron jawed angel don't you cry".
The spirit of hope is leaving. (It's leaving)
I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling)
She hides the fact she's bleeding. (She's bleeding)
I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling)
Now I'm asking why?
Spirit unmatched.
Her face was black and blue but she's still so beautiful.
She holds me.
We dance.
A sea of painful memories starts to pour right out of me.
I'd kill the world, I'd kill the gods just to bring her peace but when I hear her lovely
Voice scream it brings me to my knees.
I melted in her arms as she kissed me goodnight.
I whispered back, "one day I'll make this right."
All hope is leaving. (It's leaving)
I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling)
She hides the fact she's bleeding. (She's bleeding)
I can't believe it. (I hate this feeling)
Now I'm asking why?
Old man this one's to you: you fucking coward you know you don't
Deserve her, because in the end I know you'll just desert her.
The way you struck her just showed how much you loved her.
A simple "sorry" just can't replace what you took from her.
