Devil In Me

Far in the distance

This is the view from the other side

How did I let this pass me by?

Took me for granted

Planted thorns in this garden of mine

What are the chances?

My hope has died

Please have mercy

You've unnerved me

I don't deserve this pain

So don't break my heart,

I ain't never done nothing to deserve this

I'm torn apart

You've had your fun, do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?

Don't speak, don't breathe,

You bring out the devil in me

Thinking it over

Those were days dark as ebony nights

The end of October seemed like a lifetime

I had a suspicion

But didn't want to believe you a liar

You had a mission to prove me right

You took my trust

Ground it to dust

Found out I knew better

(Chorus)

And I don't wanna feel the pain

And I don't want another day

Shackled to your ball and chain

You're entirely to blame

And I'm so tired of explaining

The sensation of no Novocain

(Chorus)

I don't have a prayer if

There is no charity in your heart

Couldn't you spare me?

I've done my part

(Chorus)
