Written and Performed by @Naji Produced by @The-Kount This is an open letter to someone I love and had to let go. I never said I was an angel I never meant to be your hero You got a secret that I couldn't tell I'm real good at keeping things to myself You and me No one else Treat me well Keep me close I supposed You keep your makeup on the top shelf Right with your jewels and inner wisdom Cause you're always leaning on me Reaching Tell me if you can't make it I wanna give Wanna get Wanna bet Wanna dream Wanna love but I can't yet I gotta wait Gotta stay Gotta know If I'll see you When I wake up I really want to wait up But this feels made up I wonder how much of my power Slipped through your hands So I'm careful now I'm there for now I've made my amends You made me your friend But I don't intend There's a special kind of loneliness That holds me down and wraps my chest I think about when we first met "I'll be back, don't you cry" you said And sent away my trust Packed on your back And stuck in your dust So I brought it back myself With no fear of being left alone I wanna give Wanna get Wanna bet Wanna dream Wanna love but I can't yet I gotta wait Gotta stay Gotta know If I'll see you When I wake up I really want to wait up But this feels made up Angel…
