Halo

I've seen the vultures circle overhead

And I thought nothing more of it

I've seen the angels line up at your door

I wasn't scared when they asked for more

Of what I knew deep down

You didn't have and never did

Can you even remember what your dream is?

You've walked a thousand miles

So people you dislike could wear a smile

So are you just a pawn in all their games?

'Cos you've got nothing left to give

You've stayed too long again

You've burnt your candle at both ends

And I'll be waiting in this spot

For you and your return

And instead of letting you give up

I'll see you get what you deserve

Do you hear whispers in your ear at night?

I know the friends that guard your side

Through thick and thin they steer you through the pain

Of a life that hasn't gone your way

So you try to repay

Those who have stood by you

But the more you relay

The more others want from you

You've stayed too long again

You've burnt your candle at both ends

And I'll be waiting in this spot

For you and your return

And instead of letting you give up

I'll see you get what you deserve

You've stayed too long again

You've burnt your candle at both ends

And I'll be waiting in this spot

For you and your return

And instead of letting you give up

I'll see you get what you deserve
