Blue October Angel Lyrics

I'm wishing the bathwater clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?
I feel like a boy the age of 13
My body grows up
But my mind stays the same
Look me in the face
Oh, What do you see?

How do you tell an angel
That you don't believe in god?
Why do I feel
like such a stranger?
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone

But oh would you be me?
cause I would be you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And, oh, would you trade me?
Cause I would trade you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to

How do you tell your father
that you want him to notice you?
Why does this seem
like such a bother?
When mom says
you'd be better off dead
But I want to see you
I still want to see you
But, oh, would you call me?
Oh, it's not hard too
I'm the first one
Oh, you gave birth to
And, oh, would you write me
on my birthday?
Graduation
was yesterday
Yesterday
Oh...

How do you hold
the special victim?
When they push you away?
When they've been:
Raped on the inside,
Torn on the outside
The dirt and ugly from the stain
that they try to hide, touched
in private places
Embarassed faces
To scared to ask for help
Why?

Oh, would you be me?
cause I would be you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And how would you treat me?
cause I would treat you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
you wanted to

I'm wishing the bathwater clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off the mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?
