lyrics

I was captured by a fallen angel
She had the tattoo of a broken black heart
She had an engaged smile and loaded blue eyes
She was well armed
She levitated a little bit more
From where the rest of the world was standing
She fired a shot and when the smoke had cleared
She gave away the ending
She wasn't even mine to loose

She was throwing me rhythm
Moving like the rain
Dancing there with him
Right in time with my pain
My little heart breaker of mine

Well I stumbled to the stage with my band
Strapped on my guitar
And I played her game with a broken string
Poured out my bleeding heart
She levitated a little bit more
From where she danced in the arms of another
She fired a shot and when the smoke had cleared
I was left to love her
I was left to sing the blues

Only she could break my heart
