Something's watching over me 
There's someone in 
My house that I can't see 
I've asked her many times to leave 
She tells me she's not evil 
In my hours of confidence 
When feeling real and 
Worthy of my friends 
When I let go of my defence 
She's waiting in a corner 

Angel of sadness 
Leave me alone 
Save me some hours 
To try on my own 
When the music is over 
The silence is on 
You know I will be yours alone 
So pick me up 
And carry me home 

Life with her is getting hard 
It's like I'm not the 
Driver of my own car 
I'm not the holder of my credit card 
Oh Jesus, make me sober  [bad word] and lovers go 
I lose myself and 
Sometimes I don't know 
She says I've always told you so 
But I'll stay with you forever 

Angel of sadness 
Leave me alone 
Save me some hours 
To try on my own 
When the music is over 
The silence is on 
You know I will be yours alone 
So pick me up 
And carry me home 

Angel of sadness 
Angel of grief 
Save me some hours 
Then please can you leave 
When the music is over 
The silence is on 
I'll [bad word] on my own 
But I'll work it out 
And find me a home
