Angel On My Shoulder

Angel on my shoulder
says don't walk through that door
and fall into temptation like you've done before
but I still hear the whispers
in my other ear
angel on my shoulder
don't you disappear
you're the only one
who's ever gonna get me out of here

Don't you give up on me
I know mine can be
the most comically wayward of souls
though I try to be good
and do like you would
my wings just don't want to unfold

Angel on my shoulder
I am on your side
call my hesitation
proof that I have tried

Don't you give up on me
I know you can see
the goodness that wants to take hold
I try to do right
and let my spirit take flight
my wings just won't seem to unfold

Have you ever needed someone
more than words can say
angel on my shoulder
help me walk away
