I fought the angels Lyrics
I fought the angels here today,
Hope my defeat will end this play.
Everybody knows that,
I only have myself to blame.
Everybody knows that,
Softly softly wins the game.
Trust,
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.
Knew, at the time that they came out.
Wish, I could have them disallowed.
Everybody knows that,
We say things we do not mean.
Everybody knows that,
We say things that are unclean.
Trust,
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.
Run, conversations in my head,
Write, my own scripts to dish the dread.
And if I speak out loud,
I will have to change the rules.
For speakings out of bounds,
If it's practised by a fool.
Trust,
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.
So lend me, an ear to lean upon,
To speak to, and learn my speaking from.
Hope my defeat will end this play.
Everybody knows that,
I only have myself to blame.
Everybody knows that,
Softly softly wins the game.
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.
Wish, I could have them disallowed.
Everybody knows that,
We say things we do not mean.
Everybody knows that,
We say things that are unclean.
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.
Write, my own scripts to dish the dread.
And if I speak out loud,
I will have to change the rules.
For speakings out of bounds,
If it's practised by a fool.
I'll try to learn again,
My words, are seldom for a friend.
So lend me, an ear to lean upon,
To speak to, and learn my speaking from.

I love this song soooo much! I think it's talking about having arguments and blurting stuff out but all i know for sure is that it's a great song.
mentions talking, words we speak, the meaning of our words etc. alot throughout the song. I think she's talking about living in misery due to her own selfish ways-How she hurt people who loved her with harmful words she said without thinking. And how she finally realized what she did and is willing to change her ways. Basically a song about admitting your mistakes and learning how to change. Beautiful song!!
