Better Angels

What if I don’t have any better angels

What if this is the best that I can do

If it’s all downhill from here

Can I expect you to disappear 

Are you only passing through

Or is it enough that I love you

No matter how loud you say it

I simply can’t believe it’s true

Brace to take it on the chin

Accept that I’m the lesser twin

Dead ringer for a love brand new 

Inadequate substitute 

Cause I ain’t got no better angels

What you see is what you get

Work it out in therapy

Different day, same damn debris

And I still think I’d be prettier brunette

Always end up being someone’s regret

They say if you want someone to love you

First you’ve gotta love yourself

So my darling, you can see

You can’t be in love with me

I’m just standing in for somebody else

Time to climb back on the shelf

Why don’t you find a better angel 

Surely there’s one flying around

Shiny, bright, uncomplicated

With a soul that ain’t so weighted

By these heartbreak hand-me-downs

With a soul, not a shanty town

Go and find your better angels

Because mine aren’t heaven bound
