I can understand you're living in a prison

I know you can only see me as a vision

I might fade away with the coming of a new dawn

And your heart is breaking.

What are you gonna do now

That you're tired of faking it?

Well, it's hard to take it

When you know what happens each time

The devil with the green eyes

Said you were never meant to be mine

'Cause I came up from a dark world

And every love I've ever know is dead

If you come close enough to see I am inhuman

I will tell you why you're feeling so uncertain

Every word I say has a way of turning evil in you

And your heart is breaking.

What are you gonna do now

That you're tired of faking it?

Well, it's hard to take it

When you know what happens each time

The devil with the green eyes

Said you were never meant to be mine

'Cause I came up from a dark world

And every love I've ever know is dead

And your heart is breaking

What are you gonna do now

That you're tired of faking it?

Well, it's hard to take it

When you know what happens each time

The devil with the green eyes

Said you were never meant to be mine

'Cause I came up from a dark world

And every love I've ever known

Every love I've ever known

Every love I've ever know is dead
