Halo
Cage The Elephant feat. Alison Mosshart Lyrics

Every time I get away you Find a way to reel me back in. (aah)
No matter how hard I try to leave, you always find a way to bring me back into your trap.

Tell me that you love me Hold me tight so we can always be friends. (aah)
You say you love me and want to be friends, but your actions prove otherwise.

I swear I've said it before, and I say it again! (aah)
I keep making promises to myself to stay away from you, but I keep breaking them.

Why does it take so long? Why does it feel so wrong? Why does it take so lo-oo-ong?
I always question why it's so difficult to break away from you, and why it feels like I'm doing something wrong.

Knew I, couldn't help myself I had to lay low. So I, couldn't help myself I lost my halo.
I knew I needed to stay away from you, but I couldn't resist. I had to take drastic measures to cut ties with you, and it caused me to lose a part of myself.

Take me by the hand and Still remember all the good times we had. (aah)
You try to remind me of the good times we had together to lure me back into your hold.

I remember how you took my favourite knife And sticked under my skin. (aah)
I recall the pain you caused me, how you hurt me emotionally and physically, to remind me why I need to stay away from you.

All my life With a skeleton. I had to let go.
I lived my life with a burden and had to let go of it to move on.

I lost my halo I lost my halo I lost my halo
I lost my innocence, my purity, my goodness - all because of you.
