Halo
Haley James Scott Lyrics

I never promised you a ray of light
I never guaranteed to make everything better

I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday
I never promised a life of constant happiness

I'll give you everything I have, the good, the bad
I'll share every part of me, both positive and negative

Why do you put me on a pedestal?
Why do you view me as perfect and untouchable?

I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below
I'm so idealized that I can't see my own flaws and reality

So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there
Please bring me back to reality, because I don't belong on a pedestal

One thing is clear
One thing is certain

I wear a halo
I'm seen as perfect

I wear a halo when you look at me
You view me as flawless

But standing from here, you wouldn't say so
But if you were in my shoes, you'd realize that's not true

You wouldn't say so, if you were me
You wouldn't view me as perfect if you knew my reality

And I, I just wanna love you,
I just want to love you

Oh oh I, I just wanna love you
I solely want to show you love

I always said that I would make mistakes
I always knew I would not be perfect

I'm only human, and that's my saving grace
My humanity is my redeeming quality

I fall as hard as I try
I make mistakes no matter how hard I try not to

So don't be blinded
So don't be deceived

See me as I really am, I have flaws and sometimes I even sin
View me for who I truly am, since I have flaws and make mistakes

So pull me from that pedestal
Take me down from being idealized

Why'd you think that you know me
Why do you assume you understand me completely?

But In your eyes
But from your perspective

I am something above you
I'm seen as superior to you

It's only in your mind
It's only your perception

I wear a
I'm seen as

Ha ha-ha halo
Perfect, untouchable
