No Angel Knows Lyrics

No Angel Knows
By Slaid Cleaves
On a desert highway, an old Chevrolet
My engine dyin' trying to get away
Thinking 'bout the consequences of the road I chose
Now I know what no angel knows
She was no angel, a woman of the world
I thought I'd learn from this mystery girl
She pulled a diamond from this heart of coal
Now I know what no angel knows
Chorus:
No angel knows the sin of broken vow
No angel knows the sufferin' of love
No angel knows the shame of a fallen man
Now I know what no angel knows
Well, I held her close with all my might
I held her 'til her face turned white
Now my heart sleeps where the cold wind blows
Now I know what no angel knows
Faith walks on water, hope brings it home
I never thought I'd end up alone
I once had a true heart, that was long ago
Now I know, now I know
I once had a true heart
That's how it goes
Now I know what no angel knows
