[Verse 1]
Silence they said, so I lit a cigarette
Lips won't forget but you try to resist
California dreamin', take it or just leave it
Talking in my sleep when I'm wide awake

[Pre-Chorus]
Back on my mind, no telling what you'll find
Darling, now it's just a waste of time

[Chorus]
Why you wait so long
Every road I go seems darker than the one
Before you get too close
Never walk alone
Got my shadow and a black halo
I never walk alone
Got my shadow and a black halo
I never walk alone
Got my shadow and a black halo

[Verse 2]
I walk around with my head up in the clouds
Hard to say if I'm ever coming down
Broken and shattered, doesn't really matter
You're not here, don't want you to walk away

[Pre-Chorus]
Back on my mind, no telling what you'll find
Darling, now it's just a waste of time

[Chorus]
Why you wait so long
Every road I go seems darker than the one
Before you get too close
Never walk alone
Got my shadow and a black halo
I never walk alone
Got my shadow and a black halo
I never walk alone
Got my shadow and a black halo

[Bridge]
Black halo
A black halo
A black halo

[Pre-Chorus]
Back on my mind, no telling what you'll find
Darling, now it's just a waste of time
Back on my mind, no telling what you'll find
I already know it's just a waste of time

[Chorus]
Why you wait so long
Every road I go seems darker than the one
Before you get too close
Never walk alone
Got my shadow and a black halo
I never walk alone
Got my shadow in a black halo
I never walk alone
Got my shadow in a black halo
