Worn-Out Halo Lyrics

Our foot prints hide under falling leaves

As the sun peeks in through the naked trees

The colors sure bring life to this old scene

We found the corner where mystery's born

And grows into wonder before too long 

Cause I swear your eyes hold the truth that my heart needs

We stepped in quicksand with every kiss

And I cried more tears than I thought exist

but your worn-out halo still shines in my mind

So I'll lose my sleep getting right with God

And protect our hearts from the firing squads

I pray this victory needs nothing more than time 

If I can save you from myself

It'd be the greatest thing I've ever done

But I can't say you're not better off alone

Skipping stones between heaven and hell

Is just the latest game we've never won

But it still beats fighting and losing on my own 

Love won't come down to pros and cons

And it won't boil down to what's right and wrong

It all comes down to the thing you love

And the things you'd burn to keep it

Oh, I know it's iron that sharpens iron

but your fingertips are so soft they grind

just your standard miracle that hides

in the shadow of a secret 

If I can save you from myself

It'd be the greatest thing I've ever done

But I can't say you're not better off alone

Skipping stones between heaven and hell

Is just the latest game we've never won

But it still beats fighting and losing on my own 

If I can save you from myself

It'd be the greatest thing I've ever done

But I can't say you're not better off alone

Skipping stones between heaven and hell

Is just the latest game we've never won

But it still beats fighting and losing on my own
