Lips of an Angel

This rock number was released in 2005 or 2006 by Hinder. I first heard it in 2009 and became obsessed with it. If you want to know the background story depicted in the video, it’s about this guy who receives a call from his ex. He’s got a hotbod girlfriend in his bedroom prancing around in her underwear showing off those amazing enviable tight abs and goddess-like smooth skin. Yet, he’s whispering when he receives a surprise call…

Like all my music-inspired poems, I suggest playing the song{which I have embedded below for your convenience} as you read; it’ll be like a short film …in song and poetry! I wrote this poem with hopes of making it a song one day. I think it’d be an excellent pick as a song for something like ‘Four more shots’. If anyone wishes to collaborate with me to make some good music in a way where we can retain our individual copyrights and credits, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Lips of an Angel – poem by Ruelha

I've never really been unfaithful
But, you've got those lips of an angel
You're tearing my soul and making it painful
...with those lips of an angel!

Why did you have to contact me!
You knew I'd be on my knees, literally
Why are you calling me so late
It's past midnight; and we closed that gate!




Why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I understand, you need a warm embrace today
You're mostly silent; and intermittently weeping
I'm filling the silences with memories of you speaking

I've never really been unfaithful
But, you've got those lips of an angel
You're tearing my soul and making it painful
...with those lips of an angel!




With that voice, when you say my name
It rekindles perished embers with passion flames
Your voice, it sounds so sweet
Listening to it is such a treat

I've never really been unfaithful
But, you've got those lips of an angel
You're tearing my soul and making it painful
...with those lips of an angel!




What a coincidence, you chose this night
I've been imagining you around since twilight
How can something so wrong still feel so right!
I'm rationalizing the grey, when I know its black or white

I've never really been unfaithful
But, you've got those lips of an angel
You're tearing my soul and making it painful
...with those lips of an angel!




You're giving me temptation
Never thought I'd let myself be in such a situation
You're making it so hard to be faithful
Even though I consider it to be disgraceful

I've never really been unfaithful
But, you've got those lips of an angel
You're tearing my soul and making it painful
...with those lips of an angel!




My girl's in the bedroom
If she hears me, she'll fume
I'm whispering, cause I can't make a sound
But you know, I wish you were the one around

I've never really been unfaithful
But, you've got those lips of an angel
You're tearing my soul and making it painful
...with those lips of an angel!




What about you? Does he know who you're talking to?
If he found out, what would he do?
You know I never wanna hang up or say goodbye
The thought of never hearing from you again; Oh, I'd rather die!

I've never really been unfaithful
But, you've got those lips of an angel
You're tearing my soul and making it painful
...with those lips of an angel!

Lyrics to Hinder’s Lips of an Angel

Honey, why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey, why you crying, is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No, I don't think she has a clue
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words, it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
And I never wanna say goodbye
But, girl, you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey, why you calling me so late?
