Halo

Verse 1

I know you don’t love me,

But you love the way I bleed.

I’m a mirror in the dark,

You just take what you need.

Empty words on your pillow,

You forget me when it’s light.

But in the silence of your shadow,

I’m the body for your night.

⸻

Chorus

So put your plastic halo on me,

Kiss me like you’ve never sinned.

I’ll be the secret you don’t pray for,

The holy ghost beneath your skin.

So put your plastic halo on me,

Break me just to feel alive.

If you need a sinner, baby,

I’ll be one tonight.

⸻

Verse 2

Every touch is borrowed,

Every promise fades away.

You don’t want forever,

Just a lie to kill the day.

And I let you write your gospel,

On the ruins of my chest.

I’ll believe it for a moment,

‘Cause a moment feels like best.

⸻

Chorus

So put your plastic halo on me,

Kiss me like you’ve never sinned.

I’ll be the secret you don’t pray for,

The holy ghost beneath your skin.

So put your plastic halo on me,

Break me just to feel alive.

If you need a sinner, baby,

I’ll be one tonight.

⸻

Bridge (whispered)

Don’t say my name, don’t let it show,

We both know heaven doesn’t want to know.

⸻

Final Chorus

So put your plastic halo on me,

Kiss me like you’ve never sinned.

I’ll be the secret you don’t pray for,

The holy ghost beneath your skin.

So put your plastic halo on me,

Break me just to feel alive.

If you need a sinner, baby,

I’ll be one tonight.
