[Verse 1]
You came in with that grin
Like you already knew my name
Boots by the back door
Trouble in a Sunday frame
I saw that spark in your eyes
Before the smoke got thin
You wore your pretty lie
Like a halo and a sin
[Pre-Chorus]
And I should've known
By the way you shined
Some hearts learn fast
How to hide behind
A sweet goodbye
And a velvet hand
But I kept reaching
For the promised land
[Chorus]
Even the devil was an angel
Before the fall and the dust
I still hear your sweet talk
Ringin' through my bones
Even the devil was an angel
And you were mine alone
[Verse 2]
Now the porch light's burning low
On a house that won't forget
Your old jean jacket's hanging
But the room still smells like regret
I keep your name on my tongue
Like a match I shouldn't strike
'Cause every time I let you in
You turn love into a knife
[Pre-Chorus]
And I should've known
By the way you smiled
That heaven can dress
In a thief's disguise
You held me close
Then you let me drown
Now the man I was
Won't come back around
[Chorus]
Even the devil was an angel
Before the fall and the dust
I still hear your sweet talk
Ringin' through my bones
Even the devil was an angel
And you were mine alone
[Bridge]
If I find you in a memory
I don't stay long
I know a pretty face
Can sing a wrecking song
So go on, take your wings
Take your borrowed light
I learned the hard way
Truth don't always wear white
[Chorus]
Even the devil was an angel
Before the fall and the dust
I still hear your sweet talk
Ringin' through my bones
Even the devil was an angel
And you were mine alone
[Outro]
Yeah, you were mine alone
Just for a while
Angel first
Then the wild
