Well, I don't mean none of 'em now
You're acting like a different person
I couldn't pick you out of a crowd
There's nothing left to talk about
Baby, take off your halo
You ain't no bodies angel now
So you can keep playin'
I can't hear nothing that you're sayin'
And sorry won't change it
Girl, I'm 'bout to put you out
Don't try to apologize
Or try to call my phone no more
Baby, take off your halo
It doesn't even glow no more
There's not gon' be no second chance
Don't try to show up back at my door
Baby, take off your halo
What kind of fool do you take me for?
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
Take, take off your halo, halo, halo
I don't wanna hear your explanations
You're not gon' talk your way out of this
I know exactly what you're gonna try to say
And I'm not gon' fall for none of your tricks
Go ahead and cry if you want to
Go and tell it to the dude that you were with
The second that I walk away
Baby girl, you don't even exist
So you can keep playin'
I can't hear nothing that you sayin'
And sorry won't change it
Don't try to come at me with none of your shit
Don't try to apologize
Don't try to call my phone no more
Baby, take off your halo
It doesn't even glow no more
There's no gon' be no second chance

The lyrics of Mike Posner's song "Halo" portray a man confronting a woman who has been unfaithful in their relationship.

The verses depict his anger and disappointment in her, as he reflects on all the things he previously said and how he can't trust her anymore.
