The Devil Inside Me

Verse 1
You walked in like a miracle on a broken night
Soft voice, warm eyes, everything’s right
You tore down my walls, I couldn’t hide
Then used my faults and kindness to shatter me with pride. 

Felt like heaven when you held my hand
Didn’t see the hell in your master plan
You kissed me close just to watch me bleed
Love was the mask, but greed was your need

Chorus
Your wicked ways
Enchanting me
You are not who you ought to be

Your making me suffer, 
Hear my haunting plea
You released the devil inside me. (Devil inside of me!) 

Verse 2
You pulled my heart just to watch it break
Falling for you, my fatal mistake
You played the victim from the top shelf 
Painted me the monster to save yourself
Every word I said you’d rearrange
Turned love into a courtroom, my life into a cage

I kept fighting for what we were
While you spread poison in every word
You said you were in love with me, told me to change my life and we could flee. 

Pre-Chorus
I lost my mind and paid my fines, 
All you followed were dollars signs. 

Chorus
Your wicked ways
Enchanting me
You are not who you ought to be

Your making me suffer, 
Hear my haunting plea
You released the devil inside me. (Devil inside of me!) 

Verse 3
You laughed along by my side 
Instigated and then turned the tide
How will I trust someone who says they love me, You cut my life up, what’s a tragedy. 

I still hear your voice in my midnight room
Smell your perfume, i’m high on fumes
I ain’t missin’ you, I miss who you were
But you slashed me, left in a blur. 


Bridge (big emotional break — almost spoken at first)
I see you now in the ashes and smoke
The truth finally rising from words you broke
I wasn’t crazy, but maybe blind
I was just loving a perfect disguise

Chorus 

Your wicked ways
Enchanting me
You are not who you ought to be

Your making me suffer, 
Hear my haunting plea
You released the devil inside me. (Devil inside of me!) 

Your wicked ways
Enchanting me
You are not who you ought to be

Your making me suffer, 
Hear my haunting plea
You released the devil inside me. (Devil inside of me!) 

I’m still standin’ but barely breathing
Still fightin’ ghosts you left in me
I didn’t lose you, I finally see
To bad for you, I loved the devil inside me
