If By

I had sex with the devil Oh yeah
Whoah, things just aren't quite working out Darling what would you say to me
If I said we should see other people? Well at least that's where we can agree
Cause everything You swore that would last forever Was lost beneath a sea of lies on demand
The back of your hand Has become too familiar to me
I guess everything is alright At least we're bumpin' and grindin' like every night
And when you're done you should leave But step fast bitch cause I'm tryin' to sleep
So you say that you found a new bed Now that the romance is dead
I think it's starting again This voice in the back of my head
You say you never loved me and that you just had to let me know
But baby, I've already let you go Now it's over and I'm left with nothing to show
Whoah, you're such a pretty flower Your words are religion, what God has the power
To taste what's in your veins, when your blood is not the same
And we say that these things will last forever I seem to remember forever was never enough
Stay calm, stay quiet, stay alert and learn the difference that lies between a whore and a flirt
FUCK! I think I love her, but I don't think I like her right now
Why can I stay true? I was a liar cause there was nothing else to do
We "no respect" our surroundings, can you scream a little louder
I still can't hear you, let's switch it up and see what good that can do
Take a look around, you think that I need you here?
I'm not the one with the halo above my head
And I'm sure as hell not the one with a halo above my bed
