Annabelle, Annabelle
Where'd you run off to?
Annabelle, oh Annabelle
I'm lost without you
I'm in hell, I'm in hell
Down here waiting
Annabelle, wish you could tell what I've been contemplating
Leave it to the angels of the lies
To bring you back to me
Sing to me, tonight
Annabelle, Annabelle
Where've you been hiding?
Annabelle, sweet Annabelle
Since you stopped dying
I'm in hell, oh I'm in hell
Alone and hated
Annabelle, wish you could tell things got too complicated
Leave it to the angels of the lies
To bring you back to me
To sing to me, tonight
Everything's been slowly broken down
Into pieces, into nothing
Now with you no longer dancing
Leaving me to second guessing
Why you left and where you're going
Maybe its best left alone
Like you
Leave it to the angels of the lies
To bring you back to me
To sing to me, tonight
Everything's been slowly broken down
Into pieces, into nothing
Now with you no longer dancing
Leaving me to second guessing
Why you left and where you're going
Maybe its best left alone
Like you
Alone like you
Alone like you
Alone like you
Alone
Where'd you run off to?
Annabelle, oh Annabelle
I'm lost without you
Down here waiting
Annabelle, wish you could tell what I've been contemplating
To bring you back to me
Sing to me, tonight
Where've you been hiding?
Annabelle, sweet Annabelle
Since you stopped dying
Alone and hated
Annabelle, wish you could tell things got too complicated
To bring you back to me
To sing to me, tonight
Into pieces, into nothing
Now with you no longer dancing
Leaving me to second guessing
Why you left and where you're going
Maybe its best left alone
Like you
To bring you back to me
To sing to me, tonight
Into pieces, into nothing
Now with you no longer dancing
Leaving me to second guessing
Why you left and where you're going
Maybe its best left alone
Like you
Alone like you
Alone like you
Alone

I love this song :] Its just amazing.
Brilliant.
One correction on the lyrics;;
Leave it to the angels of light
Actually, I believe it is "lies". If you listen closely, you'll hear a "s" at the end just before "To bring you". I used to think it was "light" too. But lies does fit better with the song, in terms of his relationship with Annabelle being based on lies pertaining to how she really felt about him.

One of the best on the album. However, does anyone else think that the guitar riff sounds at least inspired by Bob Mould's (Husker Du) "Dreaming I am?" This song is featured on NPR's Shadow Classics HERE: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6616424 if you would like to decide for yourself. Obviously the tempos are different but the main riff sounds very close--perhaps not scandalously close.
I fucking love this heartbreak song. I believe Skiba is talking about Annabelle, his ex-girlfriend, and how he wants them to get back together so much. But during his mourning process, he thinks about the relationship as a whole with the good and the bad and realizes that she's not worth gettting back with. She's better off left alone, or least still feeling "alone" with someone else. I love how some of Skiba's loveworn songs end with him saying "Fuck it." Lol.
This is an amazing song. I could feel his pain and frustration. I listen to this song daily as its on my running mix. It never gets old!
My name is AnnaBelle, and I gotta say, I like Hail Social's 'Annabelle' better than this one. This is kind of droning and emo. :P
