[Intro]
Soft keys in the dark
One note
Then another
Strings shaking like my hands
[Verse 1]
You say my name
Like a prayer on your tongue
Then you twist it
Like a knife just for fun
You hold me close
But your eyes look past
Sweet on the surface
Acid in the glass
[Pre-Chorus]
You pull me in
Then push me out
Why does your kiss
Taste like doubt
[Chorus]
You’re the angel in my lungs
You’re the demon in my heart (oh)
I’m addicted to the way
You rip my ribs apart
You’re the poison and the cure
I can’t tell your truth from art
When you love me
When you hate me
You’re the demon in my heart
[Drop]
[Choir opens wide
Then everything cuts]
(Drop it)
Demon
Demon in my heart
Tear me
Tear me into parts
Love me
Hate me
Leave your mark
Demon
Demon in my heart
[Verse 2]
You light me up
Then you watch me burn
Say it’s for my own good
“Baby
You’ll learn”
Hands on my neck
But you swear it’s a hug
You call it passion
I call it a drug
[Pre-Chorus]
You pull me in
Then push me out
Why does your kiss
Taste like doubt
[Chorus]
You’re the angel in my lungs
You’re the demon in my heart (yeah)
I’m addicted to the way
You rip my ribs apart
You’re the poison and the cure
I can’t tell your truth from art (oh)
When you love me
When you hate me
You’re the demon in my heart
[Drop]
[Heavier second drop
Chopped vocal stabs]
(Demon)
Demon
Demon in my heart
Shake my soul and break the dark
Love me
Hate me
Tear apart
Demon
Demon in my heart
[Outro]
Soft keys return
Choir fades to one last chord
If this is what love is
Why do I want more
