Cardboard Angel
Guess I turned out to be a Sunday saint
Cause Monday's come and an angel I ain't
I wanted to help
I hurt you instead
So you tossed me from heaven for the things I said
Things I said
I'm a cardboard angel, paper thin
Cast out of heaven and trying to get in
My robe is stained
My halo's bent
But I'm still searching for a way to repent
Does anyone pray for the souls of the lost
I got the soul of a sinner, guess I'm not worth the cost
I gave you my word
But it's too little too late
Man, it's lonely out here on the wrong side of the gate
Please unlock this gate
I'm a cardboard angel, paper thin
Cast out of heaven but trying to get in
My robe is stained
My halo's bent
But I'm still searching for a way to repent
I'm a mortal man, trying to break free
Of a sinner's chains, from this misery
Too many mistakes to be taken in
Can my love be enough to atone for my sins?
For my sins
Can you grant me redemption while I give you space?
Am I too far gone to get back into your grace?
My guilt is so heavy, my sins take their toll
Can you still love me with my cardboard soul?
Grant me redemption while I give you space
Am I too far gone to get back into your grace?
My guilt is so heavy, my sins take their toll
Can you still love me with my cardboard soul?
I'm a cardboard angel
I'm a cardboard angel
Out of heaven angel
Angel
Angel
I'm a cardboard angel
Out of heaven angel
Out of heaven
Out of heaven angel
Cause Monday's come and an angel I ain't
I wanted to help
I hurt you instead
So you tossed me from heaven for the things I said
Things I said
I'm a cardboard angel, paper thin
Cast out of heaven and trying to get in
My robe is stained
My halo's bent
But I'm still searching for a way to repent
Does anyone pray for the souls of the lost
I got the soul of a sinner, guess I'm not worth the cost
I gave you my word
But it's too little too late
Man, it's lonely out here on the wrong side of the gate
Please unlock this gate
I'm a cardboard angel, paper thin
Cast out of heaven but trying to get in
My robe is stained
My halo's bent
But I'm still searching for a way to repent
I'm a mortal man, trying to break free
Of a sinner's chains, from this misery
Too many mistakes to be taken in
Can my love be enough to atone for my sins?
For my sins
Can you grant me redemption while I give you space?
Am I too far gone to get back into your grace?
My guilt is so heavy, my sins take their toll
Can you still love me with my cardboard soul?
Grant me redemption while I give you space
Am I too far gone to get back into your grace?
My guilt is so heavy, my sins take their toll
Can you still love me with my cardboard soul?
I'm a cardboard angel
I'm a cardboard angel
Out of heaven angel
Angel
Angel
I'm a cardboard angel
Out of heaven angel
Out of heaven
Out of heaven angel
