His Angel Back (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

I was with her there
in a hospital chair
the days she got the news
when we met eyes she started to cry
so hard she couldn't breathe
i said i love you don't worry
i'm in it 'til the end
If i could i'd take your cancer
but i'm waiting on an answer from god
this life seems hopeless
i'm hopeful but i guess
he wants his angel back

She buries her head in my shoulder
i try to consult her
i try just to hold
but what do you say when it's gonna be OK is a lie, a lie
i said i love you don't worry i'm in it 'til the end
If i could i'd take your cancer
but i'm waiting on an answer from god
this life seems hopeless
i'm hopeful but i guess
he wants his angel back
he wants his angel back
(he wants his angel back) X2
If i could i'd take your cancer
but i'm waiting on an answer from god
it seems apparently
she must mean more to you than me
don't take my beautiful girl
if i could i'd take your cancer
but i'm waiting on an answer from god
this life seems hopeless
i'm hopeful but i guess
he wants his angel back
