(feat. Ne-Yo)
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
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 (blame)
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low
I'm still on the ground
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all
'Member we used to touch the sky
And...
[Chorus:]
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
But we let it drift
In the storm
Every night
I feel the angel's cry
[Bridge:]
C'mon babe can't our love be revived
Bring it back and we gon' make it right.
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angel's cry
[Verse 2: Ne-Yo]
I thought we'd be together for always,
You were serenity, you took away the bad days,
Didn't always treat you right, but it was okay,
I do somethin' stupid, and you still stay with me, (stay with me)
But you can only go for so long,
Doin' the one you claim you love wrong,
Before too much is enough, you look up, find your love gone,
And we were so good together,
How come we could not weather,
This storm, it just don't better,
Why, did we say goodbye cause...
[Chorus: Ne-Yo]
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
When you and I said goodbye
Felt the angel's cry
True love's a gift
But we let it drift
In the storm
Every night
Feel the angel's cry
[Bridge:]
C'mon baby, can our love be revived
Bring it back and we're gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just trying to survive
As the angel's cry
Baby I'm missing you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you (baby I'm missing you)
Baby I'm missing you (ooh ooh)
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through (we gotta ride it)
I'm reaching for you (Hey, and I felt the same)
[Chorus: Both]
Lightning don't strike
The same place twice
You and I said goodbye
Felt the angels cry
True love's a gift
We let it slip
In the storm
Every night
I feel the angels cry
