Fake Halos

(Verse 1)
You said I’m lucky just to be here,
But I built the stage you’re standing on.
You wore my name like souvenir,
Then told the world that I was wrong.
They see your smile, they hear your lies,
And I’m the villain in their eyes.
You got your fame, I got the pain —
And somehow I’m the one to blame.

(Pre-Chorus)
I kept your secrets, you sold mine,
Now I’m done with playing kind.

(Chorus)
You painted me like I was holy,(Like I was holy)
While you played God with my heart.
You made me shine so you looked golden,(You looked golden)
Then tore the image all apart.
I gave you truth, you gave me show,
And watched me drown in what you wrote.
Your love was loud, but never real —
Now I know how fake halos feel. 
Ohohohohohohohooo
Your love was loud, but never real 
Ohohohohohohohooo
Now I know how fake halos feel. 

(Verse 2)
Every headline cuts a little deeper,
Every whisper feeds your flame.
They say I’m cold, but I’m just tired,
Of bleeding grace that you profaned.
You loved the chaos, loved control,
While I was losing my own soul.
You call it love, I call it stage —
You built a lie and called it safe.

(Pre-Chorus)
You said I was hard to love — you meant too true,
Now the mirror shows what’s left of you.

(Chorus)
You painted me like I was holy,(Like I was holy)
While you played God with my heart.
You made me shine so you looked golden,(you looked golden)
Then tore the image all apart.
I gave you truth, you gave me show,
And watched me drown in what you wrote.
Your love was loud, but never real —
Now I know how fake halos feel.
Ohohohohohohohooo
Your love was loud, but never real 
Ohohohohohohohooo
Now I know how fake halos feel. 

⸻

(Bridge)
You used me like a game to win,
Played my heart, wore down my skin.
You took my trust, you took my fire,
Left me hollow, drowned in wires.
You called it love, but it was pain,
A twisted show, a losing game.
I gave you all, you took it twice —
Now I’m done being your sacrifice. 

Ohohohohooooo
Ohohohohooooo

(Chorus)
You painted me like I was holy,(Like I was holy)
While you played God with my heart.
You made me shine so you looked golden,(You looked golden)
Then tore the image all apart.
I gave you truth, you gave me show,
And watched me drown in what you wrote.
Your love was loud, but never real —
Now I know how fake halos feel. 
Ohohohohohohohooo
Your love was loud, but never real 
Ohohohohohohohooo
Now I know how fake halos feel. 

You painted me like I was holy,(Like I was holy)
While you played God with my heart.
You made me shine so you looked golden,(You looked golden)
But I’ve been real from the start.
I gave you love, you gave me pain,
And still I’m standing in the rain.
You built your throne on what you steal —
But I’m the one who feels —
And that’s what makes me real.
