Don’t you know it’s always the good who come to pass young?
The shelter I found beneath your shadow is losing its sanctity
Where were you for me?
While I was breaking mirrors just to break the man inside
You almost let me die
Halo, halo, you never believed in me so I don’t believe in you
Halo, halo, don’t you wait up for me
I’m not coming home to you tonight
Don’t you know I used to defend you like a hero?
But halfway from this world to the next
Standing between my life and death
You left me paralyzed in the back of a light-speed ambulance
Before I found the will to open up my eyes
Halo, halo, you never believed in me so I don’t believe in you
Halo, halo, don’t you wait up for me
I’m not coming home to you tonight
Halo, halo, you never believed in me so I don’t believe in you
Halo, halo, don’t you wait up for me
I’m not coming home to you
Halo, halo, you never believed in me the way I believed in you
The way that I believed in you
I wish I could believe in you, my halo
I need to believe in you so I can believe in me
