Verse 1
I didn’t ask to be here
But I wake up anyway
Try to move through every hour
Like you didn’t walk away
I live my life in present tense
Like you still in the room
Set a plate for your spirit
Leave the light on just in case you come through
Pre-Chorus
They say time make it softer
But some days it just get loud
Cause I know your soul is with me
But your absence still surround
Chorus
Now you’re my angel that I wish I had
Instead of watching from the sky
Every day I try to live my life
Like you still right here by my side
I didn’t ask to be here
But I’m happy it was with you
Novella, the world was lucky
Heaven luckier too
Verse 2
I talk to you in quiet moments
Like you never really left
I move with how you taught me
Love loud, but protect my breath
They don’t see me checking signs
In the way the wind behave
I feel you when I’m breaking
And somehow still finding my way
Pre-Chorus
I know your soul don’t leave me
I feel it in my bones
But knowing don’t stop missing
The weight of not coming home
Chorus
Now you’re my angel that I wish I had
Instead of wings you’d hold my face
I try to smile through the knowing
That heaven needed you in ways
I didn’t ask to be here
But I’m happy it was with you
Novella, such a pure soul
The sky ain’t never been this true
Bridge
If heaven needed a heartbeat
They picked the softest one
If love could build a staircase
You’d be running back down
Some days knowing you’re with me
Just don’t feel like enough
Cause faith don’t hug you back
And memory still hurt to touch
Final Chorus
You’re my angel that I wish I had
Right here in human form
I walk this life like you still watching
Still keeping me warm
I didn’t ask to be here
But I stayed because of you
Novella, the world was lucky
And heaven even luckier too
Outro
So if I’m still breathing
And still trying to stand tall
It’s cause loving you taught me
How to live at all
