[Verse 1] You came in like Sunday mornin’ Dressed in linen, voice like prayer I was drinkin’ sin by the bottle Feet on fire, breathin’ ash and air You lit candles by my bedside Said, “Come wash your hands of pain” But sugar, I was born in brimstone I don’t rinse so easily away [Pre-Chorus] You said love should be clean, should be kind But I ain’t never walked that line Your kiss tastes like forgiveness, But I like mine with a twist of lime [Chorus] Oh, I’m no halo, honey, I’m no saint Don’t want no heaven if I can’t misbehave I burn too bright, I go too far You want a garden, I’m the wild part You call it reckless, I call it free If you're lookin' for holy, don’t look at me No halo, no chains, no peace Just a wild kind of love— Too sharp, too deep [Verse 2] You quote scripture in the kitchen While I’m dancin’ in the flame Tryin’ to love me into stillness But I don’t answer to my name You say “patience,” I say “pleasure” You say “mercy,” I say “might” You keep prayin’ I’ll come quiet But I was born to howl at night [Pre-Chorus] I don’t dress my demons up in white They sing louder in the candlelight You pour honey on your hurtin’ But I’ve always liked my hunger ripe [Chorus] Oh, I’m no halo, honey, I’m no saint Don’t want no heaven if I can’t misbehave I burn too bright, I go too far You want a garden, I’m the wild part You call it reckless, I call it free If you're lookin' for holy, don’t look at me No halo, no chains, no peace Just a wild kind of love— Too sharp, too deep [Solo] [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll get clean But not for you, not for me I’m the sinner in the choir Singin’ low in minor key You’re the rain, I’m the flood You’re the lamb, I’m the blood We don’t match, but damn we feel Like the devil beggin' grace to kneel [Solo] [Chorus – Final] No halo, baby, no sweet refrain I’ve got dirt under every name I burn too bright, I go too far You want a hymn—I’m a broken guitar You call it sin, but it’s just me If you’re searchin’ for mercy, don’t wait on me No halo, no chains, no peace Just a kiss like smoke And a love that don’t leave
