“This song is dear to my heart. I wrote it about a year ago about a relationship about allowing yourself to lose the love of your life because of all the damage and baggage you have carried from all the past guys that have fucked me up and over.” - Kingsley
This song is just a preview of the acoustic EP Kingsley is release in May, as she shows her fans once again that she doesn’t stick to one genre. The sad love song is one to be played on a cloudy grey Portland day, as you reflect on all the wrong you might have done to the right person.
lyrics
I hold regret, know you are you and I am me
See it was a wreck, the good in you was no good for me
How could I protect, when the damage is a habit I possess
How could I forget, moments still dancing in my head
All the words I should of never said
Fucked it up, when you left
Wanted an angel, how the hell did you end up with me
Wanted an angel, how the hell did you end up with me
Hardest hearts to protect, you loved me so I lead you to your death
Manage to bandage what was left
How can I repay those debts
I'll be direct, searching for a high I'll never get
Falling for you I could never predict
Fucked it up, when I left
Wanted an angel, how the hell did you end up with me
Wanted an angel, how the hell did you end up with me
You loved me, broke walls
Rose hell, for me to
Push you, build you
Break you down
And I don't know how you love, someone like me
Wanted an angel
Wanted an angel, oh
You wanted an angel, but you ended up
Ended up
Mhhhhh
Wanted
Oh, you wanted
Oh, you wanted an angel
But you ended up
Ended up
