halo.

I never promised you a ray of light
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday
I'll give you everything I have
The good, the bad.

Why do you put me on a pedestal?
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below
So help me down, you've got it wrong
I don't belong there.

One thing is clear
I wear a halo, I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so,
You wouldn't say so if you were me
And I just wanna love you.

I always said that i would make mistakes
I'm only human and that's my saving grace
I'll fall as hard as i try
So don't be blinded
See me as I really am
I have flaws and sometimes I even sin
So pull me from that pedestal
I don't belong there.

One thing is clear
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here,
You wouldn't say so,
You wouldn't say so if you were me
And I just wanna love you.

Like you think that you know me
But in your eyes
I am something above you
Only in your mind
Only in your mind
I wear a halo.

Sáng nay gió mùa Đông Bắc về, mang theo cùng với nó cái lạnh cắt da cắt thịt. Quỳnh Phương đi ngoài đường, lúc đầu cảm thấy lạnh như thể có hàng vạn cái kim đang châm vào da thịt mình, nhưng sau đó chỉ cảm thấy numb vì mình chẳng quan tâm đến cái lạnh nữa. Một khi đầu óc đang vẩn vơ nghĩ đến những thứ khác thì cái lạnh đấy có đáng là bao? Hôm qua trời ấm. Cái nắng của ngày hôm qua đi đâu mất rồi?
