Brett Westgrove - Even Angels Fall Lyrics

He stood at the pulpit for 20 something years
Never let a Sunday sermon pass him by
But in a hotel room in Lincoln, he failed to follow his own preaching
On the night he chose to leave his ring behind
Now a million different memories flood his mind

She sits in that 6 by 8, it's been 20 something years
Not a moment ticks by she don't relive the truth
At a tavern after work she thought "what could it hurt"
That mother's worst mistake on a Tuesday afternoon
She had just one, he was only two

Life ain't a perfect hallelujah
It ain't always what you thought it'd be
There's no going back you can't rewind
When the devil knocks and you pay him mind
Know you're not alone
Sometimes even angels fall

He took that team to state, first time in 20 something years
Throwin' magic underneath those Friday night lights
Not his name on the prescription but it turned into addiction
That changed his life and lost him that full-ride
He lived for takin' hits but this time a different kind

Life ain't a perfect hallelujah
It ain't always what you thought it'd be
There's no going back you can't rewind
When the devil knocks and you pay him mind
Know you're not alone
Sometimes even angels fall

Satan trembles when he see
Even the weakest saint down on his knees

Life ain't a perfect hallelujah
It ain't always what you thought it'd be
There's no going back you can't rewind
When the devil knocks and you pay him mind
Know you're not alone
Sometimes even angels fall
Sometimes even angels fall
