Halo
Beyoncé Lyrics

Remember those walls I built
I had built walls to protect myself from getting hurt again.

Well, baby, they're tumbling down
But now, with you, those walls are falling and I am opening up.

And they didn't even put up a fight
My walls fell easily because I want to be with you.

They didn't even make a sound
There was no resistance from my walls because I already trusted you.

I found a way to let you in
I have opened myself up to you and let you in.

But I never really had a doubt
I always knew that you were the one for me and that I could trust you.

Standing in the light of your halo
Being in your presence feels uplifting and magical, like standing in the light of a halo.

I got my angel now
You are like my guardian angel who has come to save me.

It's like I've been awakened
I feel like I've been sleeping until I met you and now I'm finally awake and alive.

Every rule I had you breaking
You're breaking all my preconceived notions and expectations of love, and it feels amazing.

It's the risk that I'm taking
I know that loving someone comes with risk, but I'm willing to take that risk for you.

I ain't never gonna shut you out
I will never close off my heart to you or push you away, no matter what.

Everywhere I'm looking now
Everywhere I go and everything I see reminds me of you.

I'm surrounded by your embrace
I feel like I'm enveloped in your love and support all the time.

Baby, I can see your halo
Being with you feels like being surrounded by a glow or aura of goodness.

You know you're my saving grace
You are like my savior who has come to rescue me from my past pain and hurt.

You're everything I need and more
You fulfill all my expectations of love and then exceed them.

It's written all over your face
I can see your love and care for me reflected in your facial expressions.

Baby, I can feel your halo
I can feel your love all around me, like a halo of light.

Pray it won't fade away
I hope that our love will stay strong and never fade away.

Hit me like a ray of sun
Meeting you felt like being hit with a burst of warm and bright energy.

Burning through my darkest night
You are shining light into the darkest parts of my heart and soul.

You're the only one that I want
You are the only person I desire and need in my life.

Think I'm addicted to your light
I feel like I'm addicted to the brightness and warmth of your love and care.

I swore I'd never fall again
I promised myself I would never let myself fall in love again after being hurt before.

But this don't even feel like falling
But being with you feels like floating effortlessly and joyously, not like falling at all.

Gravity can't begin
Gravity, which normally pulls me down, doesn't seem to have any effect on me when I'm with you.

To pull me back to the ground again
I feel like I'm flying or floating when I'm with you, and I never want to touch the ground again.

Feels like I've been awakened
Being with you feels like I've been reborn or revived, like I'm seeing the world for the first time.

Every rule I had you breaking
Being with you is making me rethink all my old rules and beliefs about love and what I need from a partner.

The risk that I'm taking
I know there's a risk to loving someone deeply, but I'm willing to take that risk for you because you're worth it.

Everywhere I'm looking now
You are always on my mind and in my thoughts wherever I go.

I'm surrounded by your embrace
I feel like I'm being held and hugged tightly by your love and care at all times.

Baby, I can see your halo
Being with you feels like being surrounded by a glow of goodness and light that emanates from you.

You know you're my saving grace
You have saved me from the pain and hurt of my past and are bringing light and joy into my life.

You're everything I need and more
You fulfill every expectation I have and exceed them all, which makes me feel complete and happy.

It's written all over your face
I can see your love and care for me reflected in your facial expressions, which makes me feel loved and appreciated.

Baby, I can feel your halo
I can feel your love and goodness emanating from you like a warm and bright halo.

Pray it won't fade away
I hope and pray that our love will stay strong and never fade away with time or distance.

Halo, halo
The word 'halo' is repeated as a way of emphasizing just how bright and warm the artist feels in the presence of their lover.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The repeated 'oohs' are a way of expressing joy, pleasure, and excitement at being in love with someone so special.
