Angels Like You

"Angels Like You" is the third track on Miley Cyrus' seventh studio album, Plastic Hearts. The personal nature of the lyrics has led many to believe this song is about Cyrus' ex-girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter. Cyrus and Carter dated for a month in 2019, even traveling to Europe together. The two split up when things allegedly became too serious.

[Intro] Mmm, mmm, mmm [Verse 1] Flowers in hand, waiting for me Every word in poetry Won't call me by name, only "baby" The more that you give, the less that I need Everyone says I look happy When it feels right [Chorus] I know that you're wrong for me Gonna wish we never met on the day I leave I brought you down to your knees 'Cause they say that misery loves company It's not your fault I ruin everything And it's not your fault I can't be what you need Baby, angels like you can't fly down here with me [Post-Chorus] I'm everything they said I would be La, la, la I'm everything they said I would be [Verse 2] I'll put you down slow, love you goodbye Before you let go, just one more time Take off your clothes, pretend that it's fine A little more hurt won't kill you Tonight, mother says you don't look happy Close your eyes [Chorus] I know that you're wrong for me Gonna wish we never met on the day I leave I brought you down to your knees 'Cause they say that misery loves company It's not your fault I ruin everything And it's not your fault I can't be what you need Baby, angels like you can't fly down here with me [Post-Chorus] I'm everything they said I would be La, la, la, la La, la, la La, la, la Oh, ah, ah Ah, oh Ah, oh [Chorus] I know that you're wrong for me Gonna wish we never met on the day I leave I brought you down to your knees 'Cause they say that misery loves company It's not your fault I ruin everything (Everything) And it's not your fault I can't be what you need Baby, angels like you can't fly down here with me, oh [Outro] Angels like you can't fly down here with me
