[soft piano with faint beat, slow build]
[female vocals, casual but emotional, mid-range]
[Verse 1]
I don’t know why they can’t love me
They’re always obsessed with the man with the
Little red horns
And little red tail
And even the little red fire
That they love way better than my little—
Halo
[Verse 2]
They laugh at me like I’m just a joke
I try to breathe but I start to choke
I sit alone in the back of the crowd
While they cheer for him, their voices loud
I cover my ears, but it’s still the same
They only smile when they call his name
[Chorus]
They seem to love the really bad man more than me
I don’t know why but they don’t want me
I’d rather sit next to the really bad man
With the little red horns
The little red fork
And a little red tail
[Verse 3]
They push me down while they shout his name
I scrape my knees but I feel the same
I bite my lip till it starts to bleed
I wonder if pain is all that I need
I’d rather be dirt than be left alone
At least he burns where the fire has grown
[Chorus]
They seem to love the really bad man more than me
I don’t know why but they don’t want me
I’d rather sit next to the really bad man
With the little red horns
The little red fork
And a little red tail
[Bridge – instruments heavier]
I try to smile but it falls apart
He breaks their hearts while I break my heart
They never see when I try to stay
They only follow when he walks away
[Final Chorus – louder, layered vocals]
They seem to love the really bad man more than me
I don’t know why but they don’t want me
I’d rather sit next to the really bad man
With the little red horns
The little red fork
And a little red tail
[Outro – soft, fading]
Little red horns
Little red tail
Better than my halo
That always fails
