[Verse 1: Mariah]
I shouldn't have walked away
I would've stayed if you said we could've made everything O.K
But we just hrew the blame back and forth
We treated love like a sport
The final blow hit so low, I'm still on the ground
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah]
I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall
Shattered in pieces curled on the floor
Super natural love conquers all
'Member we used to touch the sky
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
And lightning don't strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift, we let it drift in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry
C'mon babe can't our love be revived?
Bring it back and we gon' make it right
I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive
As the angels cry
[Verse 2: Ne-Yo]
I thought we'd be forever and always
You were serenity, you took away the bad days
Didn't always treat you right but it was O.K
I do somethin' stupid and you still stay with me
But you can only go for so long
Doing the one you claim to love wrong
Before too much is enough
You look up, find your love gone and
[Pre-Chorus: Ne-Yo]
We were so good together
How come we could not weather
This storm and just do better
Why did we say goodbye?
[Chorus: Ne-Yo & (Mariah)]
'Cause lightning don't strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry
True love's a gift, we let it drift in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry
(C'mon, babe, can't our love be revived?)
(Bring it back and we gonna' make it right)
(I'm on the edge just trying' to survive)
(As the angels cry)
[Bridge]
Baby, I'm missing' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
And I'm gonna say
Baby, I'm missing' you
Don't allow love to lose
We gotta ride it through
I'm reaching for you
And im gonna say
[Chorus: Mariah & Ne-Yo]
Llightning don't strike the same place twice
When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry
'Cause true love's a gift, we let it drift in a storm
Every night, I feel the angels cry
Oh, babe, don't let angels cry
