You Were The Devil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lay down your love, he commanded
And with those words i sealed the fate that was mine
Dark magic in your eyes
In dangerous ways you came and swayed a change in me
I gave my breath so i could suffocate your fire
Still it's the hate in your words i came to admire
Love waves goodbye, empty handed
You were the devil, now i'm turning into you
All through these years i have waited
For your nocturnal tongue to tell me i am found
And with a coolness i'm jaded
Fall to your knees and dig my heart up from the ground
Love waves goodbye, empty handed
You were the devil, now i'm turning into you
