There's dirt on my halo
Might as well
Discard these two wings
I wish to sell
For better or worse
I kept my vow
No devilish sun
Will leave this ground
So beat me with iron
Beat me with lead
I gathered my thoughts
Before I said,
"No, it wasn't me
Who changed their ways.
It's you all along
Who forgot their place."
So, what I want you to say
What I want you to do
Is how I need you to be someone else, too.
What I want you to know
What I'm asking for
Is how I need you to be something much more.
Your words are like fire
In my veins
I succumb to worst things
Than this pain
Running on empty with these thoughts
"If only you changed."
Is all I got.
Between you and me we are the same
But I'm up above and down, there you reign
The distance from here to there is far
I'd tear off these wings
If you'd rid the scars.
So, what I want you to say
What I want you to do
Is how I need you to be someone else, too.
What I want you to know
What I'm asking for
Is how I need you to be something much more.
There's dirt on my halo
I hear you down below
I'm Running on empty
I'd Tear off these wings to be with you
There's dirt on my halo
I hear you down below
I'm Running on empty
I'd Tear off these wings to be with you
So, what I want you to say
What I want you to do
And how I need you to be someone else, too.
What I want you to know
What I'm asking for
Is how I need you to be something much more.
There's dirt on my halo
I hear you down below
I'm Running on empty
I'd Tear off these wings to be with you
There's dirt on my halo
I hear you down below
I'm Running on empty
I'd Tear off these wings to be with you
This song was done for my ex girlfriend when she broke up with me. I made it when I was 16, and finally sang it when I was 20 (All my songs were sang at 20). Her words to end the relationship was, "I'm sick of you, I need someone new." We were together for 3 years, well, it would have been 3 years if we lasted an extra month. This song just describes how even though I was bored with her, I still loved her and wanted to spend eternity with her.
