[Verse 1]
Good and bad
I swear I've had them both, they're overrated
But is it fun
When you get hold of one
Some gone bad
And some gone back
Good ones all get taken
I'm calling' your bluff
You ain't strong enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus x2]
Halo
God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Verse 2]
Say your prayers when you get scared
Pray you're gonna make it
And then when you're done
You keep fucking up
One day soon I'll disappear
And if you'll come I'll take you somewhere to go
To keep from growing old
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus x2]
Halo
God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Disappear, the light is fading (oh, oh)
Disappear, outside their rage (oh, oh)
Disappear, I'm tired of waiting (oh, oh)
Disappear before we get away (oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus x2]
Halo
God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
Good and bad
I swear I've had them both, they're overrated
But is it fun
When you get hold of one
Some gone bad
And some gone back
Good ones all get taken
I'm calling' your bluff
You ain't strong enough
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus x2]
Halo
God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Verse 2]
Say your prayers when you get scared
Pray you're gonna make it
And then when you're done
You keep fucking up
One day soon I'll disappear
And if you'll come I'll take you somewhere to go
To keep from growing old
[Pre-Chorus]
Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned
[Chorus x2]
Halo
God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Disappear, the light is fading (oh, oh)
Disappear, outside their rage (oh, oh)
Disappear, I'm tired of waiting (oh, oh)
Disappear before we get away (oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus x2]
Halo
God only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
