Originalsongtext

[Intro] You called my name in your golden haze Like I was the one who drifted away— But baby, I remember more Than teardrops on your floor… [Verse 1] You sang like love was all we had, But you forgot the nights gone bad. The silence thick, the distant stare— The way you held me wasn't fair. You say you tried, but I was there— Watching you fade like midnight air. [Verse 2] You played those chords, so sweet, so sly, But I knew the truth behind your eyes. The lines you wrote, they sure do sting— But lies sound better when you sing. I ain’t the ghost that haunts your bed, I’m the woman who left instead. [Chorus] Angie, Angie— That’s what you cried. But now it’s my name, That lets you hide. You wrote a song, I lived the fight. And I won’t be your shadow in the night. [Verse 3] I found new light behind the rain, I stitched my soul through all the pain. You called me when the crowd was gone— But hearts don't heal with Rolling Stones. [Chorus] Angie, Angie— You sang it sweet. But truth don’t dance To a backbeat. I walked away, I took the fall— But darling, I don’t miss you at all. [Bridge] I loved you once, but not that long— Your song is pretty, but it's wrong. So sing it loud, if that helps you cope— Just don’t mistake regret for hope. [Final Chorus] Angie, Angie— You said goodbye. But I had left Before you cried. Your song was soft, But I grew strong— And now, it’s time I move along. [Outro] Goodbye, my poet full of shame— You gave me music, I gave you my name.
