Song lyrics that describe me, well sort of...

I was surfing the web this morning and listening to my music player on Facebook as I sometimes like to do, and I found myself drawn to a song performed by Bethany Joy Galeotti (who plays Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill). This song is called "Halo". I don't know who wrote it, but whoever did must have been inspired because as I listened to the song, I realized these lyrics describe me pretty well. Read and decide for yourselves.

"Halo" as performed by Bethany Joy Galeotti, composers unknown.

Verse 1
I never promised you a ray of light,
I never promised there'd be sunshine every day.
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.

Chorus:
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, I just want to love you.
Oh, oh I, I just want to love you.

Verse 2
I always said that I would make mistakes,
I'm only human; and that's my saving grace.
I 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!

Chorus
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, I just want to love you.
Oh, oh I, I just want to love you.

Bridge
Why you think that you know me,
But in your eyes.
I am something above you
That's only in your mind,
Only in your mind.
I wear
I wear
I wear a halo

Chorus
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, I just want to love you.
Oh, oh I, I just want to love you.
