Well it's hard to explain but I'll try if you let me
Well it's hard to sustain
I'll cry if you let me
This doesn't change the way I feel about you or your place in my life
(please don't cry)
Can't you see I'm dying here?
A shot of broken heart that is chased with fear
Angels cry when stars collide
I can't eat and I can't breathe
I wouldn't want it any other way
Intentions that were pure have turned obscure
Seconds into hours
Minutes into years
Don't ask me why
(please don't cry)
I can't tell you lies
Angels cry when stars collide
I can't eat and I can't breathe
I wouldn't want it any other way.
[repeat]
My heart burns through
My chest to the floor
Tearing me silently although abruptly
Words can't hide as I'm taking you home
And I tried to see
Tried to understand your words as I'm taking you home
Angels cry when stars collide
I can't eat and I can't breathe
I wouldn't want it any other way
[repeat]
Various meanings and it depends upon the person who reads and sings the song...
For me, a couple who broke up despite the fact that they still love each other but were unable to patch things up... and decided to end the relationship.
I think he has cheated and he's trying to explain it to her. He can't lie and it hurts him just as much as its hurting her because he truly loves and cares for her. It was something that got out of hand. Good intentions turned obscure. (angels cry, when stars collide)They were soul mates, but the stars collided the minute he made that choice to cheat. Now the angels cry because something that was so perfect has been ruined
