Ashes on Your Halo

[Intro]

[soft acoustic groove

Strings rising]

You walk in

Like a closing scene

Mascara storms

On porcelain

[Verse 1]

You say you're fine

But you twist that ring

Like every lie

Has a silver sting

My jacket hangs

Off your fragile frame

You joke about

How you like the pain

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell me

Are we cursed

Or just afraid to fall?

Every word we rehearse

Still scars the wall

[Chorus]

Ashes on your halo

Burning

Baby

Say my name

We keep kissing in the crossfire

Playing saints inside the flame

If this love is fatal

I would die that way again

Ashes on your halo

I’m the sin beneath your skin (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

Your lipstick prints

On my coffee cup

You trace the cracks

Say they’re just our luck

You hate the dark

But you kill the light

Then pull me under

For one more night

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell me

Are we lost

Or scared of being found?

Every promise we tossed

Still hits the ground

[Chorus]

Ashes on your halo

Burning

Baby

Say my name

We keep kissing in the crossfire

Playing saints inside the flame

If this love is fatal

I would die that way again

Ashes on your halo

I’m the sin beneath your skin

[Bridge]

[drums drop

Timpani and strings swell]

If heaven had a door

You’d slam it in my face

Then drag me through your floor

Back to your sacred

Broken place

You carve my name in glass

Bleeding just to prove

Every time we crash

That’s when we move

[Chorus]

Ashes on your halo

Burning

Baby

Say my name (say my name)

Ashes on your halo

Burning

Baby

Say my name (say my name)

We keep kissing in the crossfire

Laughing as we feed the flame

If this love is fatal

I would die that way again

Ashes on your halo

I’m the sin beneath your skin

[Outro]

[half-time groove

Big orchestral hits]

Ashes on your halo

Falling in your hair

If loving you’s a downfall

Meet me in midair (hey!)
