Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro (half-spoken, close mic] Yeah… You’re the devil… And you know it… Yeah, I know it too… Verse 1 You’re the truth I keep lying to The one thing I can’t hold onto Still I don’t know how to let go No, no, no… You pull me close, then cut me down I swear I’m leaving, then you spin me ‘round Every time I think I’m done I’m right back where I’m from [Pre-Chorus (building tension] Every look, every fight You still live in my nights I run my mouth, I say I’m free But you still got a hold on me Chorus (restrained but heavy) Every time I break, you already know I fall right back into your shadow I can’t escape you You’re killing me slow Yeah… Loving you’s a pain I chose You’re the devil, and you know Yeah, you’re the devil… And I know Verse 2 You’re the scar I keep touching Even when it still bleeds You’re the part of my heart That don’t listen to me I keep crawling back for more Like I don’t remember before Addicted to the hell you bring Still I beg for everything [Pre-Chorus 2 (softer, almost spoken] I tell myself I’ve had enough But my goodbye ain’t strong enough I know your kiss is gasoline Still I strike the match in me Chorus (fuller, grit showing) Every time I break, you already know I fall right back into your shadow I can’t escape you You’re killing me slow Yeah… Loving you’s a pain I chose You’re the devil, and you know Yeah, you’re the devil… And I know [Bridge (spoken → sung, gospel-blues] You live in the quiet parts of my head In the things I never said Some devils feel like home That’s the truth I hate the most Why can’t I just let you go? Oh God… Why can’t I let you go? [Final Chorus (big, breaking, raw] Every time I break, you already know I fall right back into your shadow I can’t escape you You’re killing me slow Yeah… Loving you’s a pain I chose You’re the devil, and you know Yeah, you’re the devil… And I know Outro (breathy, ad-libs) Yeah… I know it… I know it… You’re the devil… And I know…
