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
