Songfacts®:

  • This song is about a girl who is being abused by her boyfriend or husband until she can't take it anymore and kills him. It then goes on to say "She falls to her knees screaming God Please make something of me. 'Cause I've never wanted anything like what I want to be right now, an angel again, an angel again, somehow," showing how she never wants to go back to that and would like to become an angel. It goes on to conclude that with all the weight and pain, the original decision was right. >>
