Angels Cry (Remix) Lyrics

[Intro: Mariah Carey with Ne-Yo]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La, da da da
Hey, hey


[Verse 1: Mariah Carey & (Ne-Yo)]
I shouldn't have walked away
I would've stayed if you said
We could've made everything OK (OK)
But we just threw the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I'm still on the ground

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces, curled on the floor
Supernatural love conquers all
'Member we used to touch the sky

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
And lightning don't strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye, I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift, we let it drift in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry
C'mon, babe, can't our love be revived?
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just trying to survive
As the angels cry
[Verse 2: Ne-Yo]
I thought we'd be forever and always (Always)
You were serenity, you took away the bad days
Didn't always treat you right, but it was OK
I do somethin' stupid and you still stay with me (Stay with me)
But you can only go for so long
Doing the one you claim to love wrong
Before too much is enough
You look up, find your love gone, and...

[Pre-Chorus: Ne-Yo]
We were so good together
How come we could not weather
This storm and just do better?
Why did we say goodbye?

[Chorus: Ne-Yo & (Mariah Carey)]
'Cause lightning don't strike the same place twice
When you (You and I) and I said goodbye (Said goodbye)
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift, we let it drift in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry
(C'mon, babe, can't our love be revived?)
(Bring it back and we gon' make it right)
(I'm on the edge just trying to survive)
(As the angels cry)

[Bridge: Mariah Carey & (Ne-Yo)]
Baby, I'm missing you
Don't allow our love to lose (Don't let our love)
(Don't let our love)
We gotta ride it through
Ooh, I'm reaching for you
And I'm gonna say
Baby, I'm missing' you
Don't allow our love to lose (Don't let our love)
We gotta ride it through (We gotta ride it)
I'm reaching for you
And I'm gonna say

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Ne-Yo]
Lightning don't strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye, I felt the angels cry
'Cause true love's a gift, we let it drift in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry

[Outro: Mariah Carey]
Oh, babe, don't let angels cry
