Why Lyrics

Where did you go, little angel
Where did you hide, little angel
Why didn't you stay where you were and just leave me alone
'Cause all I ever do is cry myself to sleep

I'm so tired of this life I'm living
Sometimes I wish I could fall asleep and never wake up
Is it true what they say, can you fly up there
Is it better than being with me
'Cause I would have gave you anything, but you chose everything

Where did you go, little angel
Where did you hide, little angel
You stole my heart away from me though you never even breathed
I'm still trying to mend the pieces that you left me in

Now I've tried a million times, I just can't get you out of my mind (x2)

So I'll just wait for my time
You'll be mine again
So I'll just wait for my time
You'll be mine again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song was written by Ryan Buckner after the loss of his child in the delivery room. The 'little angel' is Ryan's lost child. Throughout the song Ryan expresses his feelings about losing a child, and states that "sometimes I wish I could fall asleep and never wake up". When we lose someone we love so much, sometimes all we want to do is just crawl up into a ball and do nothing-- or in this case, never wake up. At the end, Ryan states how '..I'll just wait for my time and you'll be mine again". He is saying that he will once again reunite with his lost child in Heaven.

This is a beautiful song. Ryan recorded a video of it and put it onto his YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/ryanbuckner2405).
