Unlikely Messenger

(Written by Brett Mikels & Jeffrey Dean Bethuy © 2006)
It’s been quite sometime since I’ve been charmed
Or maybe since I let myself be
But meeting you was so unexpected
It took me by surprise to see

That the pain and loss of an old and distant love
That really had a hold on me
Had lost its grip and I’ve broken free
You didn’t know you turned the key

You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You came along, and you turned the key
You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You set me free

You reached right out and took my hand
And smiled at me and put me at ease
And it donned on me you’re a girl and I’m a boy
I’d forgotten what that really means

That the pain and loss of an old and distant love
That really had a hold on me
Had lost its grip and I’ve broken free
It was you who finally turned the key

You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You came along, and you turned the key
You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You set me free

And I thank you for what you did
You probably wouldn’t understand
But I got the message loud and clear
As soon as you touched my hand
And I have to admit, though somewhat sheepishly
It’s not like me to fall that fast
But an unlikely messenger, an angel was sent
To tell me I can breathe again

The pain and loss of an old and distant love
That really had a hold on me
Had lost its grip and I’ve broken free
You didn’t know you turned the key

You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You came along, and you turned the key
You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You were the one who set me free
You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You came along and you turned the key
You’re an angel, unlikely messenger
You set me free
