[Verse 1]
He couldn’t reach my skin
So he took the best of me
Left a chair by the door
And a shadow where you used to be
I keep your photo facedown
Still I feel you in the room
Every little quiet hour
Turns into a battlefield
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I wake up swinging
At the shape of the night
Every scar got louder
When you slipped out of my life
[Chorus]
Devil couldn’t get close to me
(Devil couldn’t get close)
So he took what mattered most to me
(What mattered most to me)
Now I fight my demons daily
(I fight them daily)
With your name stuck inside of me
[Verse 2]
I learned the sound of panic
In the crack between my prayers
I learned how grief can hollow
Out the strongest hands you wear
They said time would make it smaller
But it only taught me rage
I got your absence at my table
And it eats from my plate
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I wake up swinging
At the shape of the night
Every scar got louder
When you slipped out of my life
[Chorus]
Devil couldn’t get close to me
(Devil couldn’t get close)
So he took what mattered most to me
(What mattered most to me)
Now I fight my demons daily
(I fight them daily)
With your name stuck inside of me
[Bridge]
If I burn, I burn in daylight
Let the whole world see
I was broken open
But I’m still on my feet
You’re the hurt they gave me
You’re the wound I keep
Still I turn that pain to power
Still it doesn’t bury me
[Final Chorus]
Devil couldn’t get close to me
(Devil couldn’t get close)
So he took what mattered most to me
(What mattered most to me)
Now I fight my demons daily
(I fight them daily)
And I’m still not done with me
