Heaven tells him there's an angel
Sent to help him with his pain
But this guilt trip ain't getting longer, it seems
Let alone all his mistakes
Screams fill this room with laughter
After the bodies all hit the floor
He once believed that he needed, he wanted
But he don't want an angel anymore
He said
"Walk on by me"
"Walk on down the road"
"Walk on by me"
"But before you go, I'd like you to know
Heaven sent you too damn slow"
Sitting on his porch, head in hands
He knows damn well he's lost his torch
Long ago a young child, once sweet and mild
Now it seems that fathers got bad intentions
He's got infections, and the day comes
He won't go home again
He said
"Walk on by me"
"Walk on down the road"
"Walk on by me"
"But before you go, I'd like you to know
Heaven sent you too damn slow"
If it burns hurt into your mind
Well, I guess I'm doing just fine (do it)
And if it burns hurt into your eyes
Well, I guess I'm doing just fine (do it)
Walk on by me (oh, won't you walk on by me)
Walk on down the road (walk on down the road)
Walk on by me (oh, won't you walk on by me)
But before you go, I'd like you to know
Heaven sent you too damn slow
