Demons And Angels

He swore it was over and all in his past
 A few hours later his hands around a glass
 A voice on the left says there's peace in the wine
 From the right a voice whispers don't do it this time
 When he looks for the answer down in his heart
 Demons and angels tear him apart.
 She calls his name softly as she lies in their bed
 Listens for footsteps, prays for the best
 She knows that he loves her, knows that he tries
 But if he comes home drinking, she'll leave him tonight
 She waits for the answer and cries in the dark
 While demons and angels tear him apart.
 For so long they fought for his soul,
 The whiskey and the woman at home
 And they all know he must choose the winner alone.
 There's not much that's sweeter than a new life begun
 Ain't much that's sadder than a promise undone
 He stares at the bottle, longs for her arms
 While demons and angels tear him apart.
 When he looks for the answer down in his heart
 There's demons and angels that tear him apart.
 Mmm...
