Halo
Bethany Joy Lenz Lyrics

i never promised you a ray of light
I never guaranteed you that everything will always be perfect, and that I will never let you go through hard times.

i never promised there'd be sunshine everyday
I never told you that things will always be sunny and bright in our relationship.

i'll give you everything i have
I will give you all that I can offer in this relationship, both good and bad.

the good, the bad
I will give you everything I have, whether it's good or bad traits or experiences.

why do you put me on a pedestal?
Why do you see me as someone who is perfect and can do no wrong? Why do you put me on a higher ground?

im so up high that i cant see the ground below
Your perception of me is so high that I can't see the reality of who I am, and it can be dangerous for our relationship.

so help me down, you've got it wrong
Please bring me down from the pedestal because it's not where I belong. Your perception of me is wrong.

i dont belong there
I don't belong on that high pedestal where you see me. I'm not perfect, and I have flaws.

one thing is clear
There is one thing that is certain and evident.

i wear a halo, i wear a halo when you look at me
You see me as someone pure and perfect, like I am wearing a halo.

but standing from here you wouldnt say so
However, if you were in my position or had a different point of view, you might not think the same way about me.

if you were me
If you truly understood my experiences and flaws, and saw things from my perspective.

and i, i just wanna love you
And all I really want is to love and be loved by you, without the pressure and expectations of being perfect.

i always said that i would make mistakes
I have always been honest with you that I am not perfect, and I will make mistakes along the way.

im only human and thats my saving grace
Being human, with all its flaws and imperfections, is what makes me special and unique.

i'll fall as hard as i try
No matter how hard I try, I will still make mistakes and experience failures.

so dont be blinded
Please don't be blinded by your perception of me, because that's not who I truly am.

see me as i really am
See me beyond the illusions and expectations, and accept me for who I truly am.

i have flaws and sometimes i even sin
I am far from perfect, and I make mistakes and wrong choices sometimes.

so pull me from that pedestal
Please take me down from that high pedestal, because it's not where I belong and it's not realistic.

like you think that you know me
You have a perception of me that you think you know, but it's not the whole truth.

but in your eyes i am something worthy
However, in your eyes, I am still worth something, even with my flaws and imperfections.

only in your mind
It's only in your mind that you see me as perfect and flawless.

i wear a halo
You see me as someone special, pure, and perfect, almost like I am wearing a halo.

haha ha ha halo (x9)
Repetition of the phrase 'Halo' as a catchy chorus for the song.
