NO HALO [INTRO - Ember, intimate] I never said I was perfect... I just stopped pretending I was. [VERSE 1 - Ember] I got a little darkness underneath my shine A couple old regrets I keep between the lines I've made some bad decisions I've loved the wrong ones too But every road I stumbled down Still brought me back to you I don't wear a halo Never claimed I did Sometimes I lose my balance Sometimes I lose my grip But I learned how to stand When nobody came around And I learned my own heartbeat When the noise died down [PRE-HOOK - Ember] Don't put me on a pedestal I was never built that high If you want the real me Look me in the eyes [HOOK - Ember] I got no halo No wings, no perfect soul I got scars beneath the gold And a heart that won't fold No halo But I'm still here tonight I don't need to be perfect To know I'm still alive No... No haaaaaalo... I'm finally comfortable Inside my own skin [VERSE 2 - Ember] I've been the villain in somebody's story I've been the one who needed saving I've been too proud to say I'm sorry I've been afraid of what tomorrow's bringing But I don't hide anymore From the woman in the mirror Every flaw I tried to bury Only made the picture clearer I can love without losing me I can leave without regret I can forgive what happened Without forgetting what it meant [PRE-HOOK - Ember] Don't put me on a pedestal I was never built that high If you want the real me Look me in the eyes [HOOK - Ember] I got no halo No wings, no perfect soul I got scars beneath the gold And a heart that won't fold No halo But I'm still here tonight I don't need to be perfect To know I'm still alive No... No haaaaaalo... I'm finally comfortable Inside my own skin [BRIDGE - Ember, stripped down] Maybe I'm not heaven Maybe I'm not hell Maybe I'm just learning How to know myself Every scar is evidence Every tear became a lesson I don't need your absolution I just needed my confession [BREAK - Ember, whispered] No halo. No mask. No apologies. [FINAL HOOK - Ember, emotional power] I got no halo No wings, no perfect soul I got scars beneath the gold And a heart that won't fold No halo Still standing in the light I don't need to be perfect To know I'm doing fine No... No haaaaaalo... This is who I am And I'm alright [OUTRO - Ember, soft] No halo... Still glowing.
