The Demon Of You

[Verse 1]

I walk these streets, shadows in my mind
Your ghost still lingers, won’t leave me behind
Every step I take, I hear your name
And nothing in my life has been the same

[Pre-Chorus – Rising tension]

You were my fire, now I’m burned and cold
I try to let go, but I can’t let go…

[Chorus]

You’re the demon of you, haunting my nights
Tearing me down in the pale moonlight
I can’t escape, no matter what I do
’Cause every fight I fight just leads me back to you
The demon… of you…

[Verse 2 – Soft then stronger]

I see your face in strangers passing by
I fake a smile but inside I die
You built these walls, then you broke them down
Now I’m the lost one, can’t turn it around

[Pre-Chorus – Build]

You were my reason, now I’m torn in two
No cure, no healing, just the ghost of you…

[Chorus – Stronger delivery]

You’re the demon of you, haunting my nights
Tearing me down in the pale moonlight
I can’t escape, no matter what I do
’Cause every fight I fight just leads me back to you
The demon… of you…

[Bridge – Screamed]

You left me bleeding, scars I can’t erase
Your shadow’s written all across my face
I beg for silence, but the voices stay
You’re in my blood, and I can’t wash you away!

[Chorus – Final]

You’re the demon of you, haunting my soul
Breaking me down when I try to grow
I can’t escape, no matter what I do
’Cause every breath I breathe still tastes like you
The demon… of you…

[Outro – Soft falsetto fading out]

In the silence, I still hear your name
The demon of you… it’ll never change
