Story Behind The Song
Your Halo
Back on the road for a worldwide tour and her memory comes back to haunt him. The band travels thousands of miles every day, yet he can't move on. He had promised to cut back and clear his head. He promised her a year. Without her, he plunged back into the abyss twice as hard. He burnt all the pictures of her. Every time their song played on the radio, his memories wanted her. It reminded him of what he said, that things would be different. But he still woke up in the morning to the wreckage of the night before. He started to think that maybe she wasn't the one for him. She could be so evil sometimes, but on the outside she looked like an angel. He told her once, "No one sees the horns that are holding up Your Halo." He made up his mind, he'd move to Hollywood, where he could focus on his music and hide from the memory of what once was.

Lyrics
On the road
No way to move on here
Gotta set the whiskey down
I promised her one year
What you know
Can come back to haunt you
Out there in a spinning wave
My memory wants you
Oh
Oh
Gonna double down - now that I'm loaded
There is only one thing left - a picture of you and me
Burning in the fireplace - scattering ashes
Telling all I need to know - beautiful lie to me
A pair of horns
No one sees
Hold up your halo
Beautifully
Beautifully
Hittin' a thought
Come driftin' in my head
Someone on the radio
Remind me what I said
I came alone
Deliver a warning
Crawl thru all the broken glass
And be gone in the morning
Gonna double down - now that I'm loaded
There is only one thing left - a picture of you and me
Burning in the fireplace - scattering ashes
Selling all I need to know - deliberate lies to me
A pair of horns
No one sees
Hold up your halo
Beautifully
(Whisper Track in Here)
Beautifully
(Whisper Track in Here)
Hollywood
Makin' a home here
Softly as I let her down
Still she disappeared
After all
What does a man do
Hide away the memory
And try to forget you
Oh
Oh
Gonna double down - now that I'm loaded
There is only one thing left - a picture of you and me
Burning in the fireplace - scattering ashes
Selling all I need to know - deliberate lie to me
A pair of horns
No one sees
Hold up your halo
A pair of horns
No one sees
Hold up your halo
Beautifully
