The Devil In Me

Feedback Received!

just a heads up I decided to just write this from the heart and not worry about timing or wording so it may feel really shuffled

Every man has a couple demons in his pocket

Every man has a few reasons to cry Every now and then

And every man may have a reason to lash out sometimes

But I’m not like all those men

I’d scream and I’d shout ‘til there was none of you left

I’d squeeze every bit of love you had for me outta your neck

I’d make you cry just to see how much you loved me

And even though I loved you with all of my heart

And even though I was always true

You still couldn’t see

There was nothing I could do To save you from the Devil in me

I never laid a hand on you, this much is true

But that’s what screamin’ and yellin’ is for, ain’t it?

I’d fall for your games and you’d fall for mine.

Until the day we both hit the end of our line.

There wasn’t any hope of saving it, after you and I said some things.

You don’t know how much I wish I could take it all back.

The truth is I loved you, sometimes I still do

But in the end you could finally see

There was no saving myself from the Devil in me

You moved on so quick that it tore me in two

You tried to keep contact but that just wouldn’t do

I couldn’t see you without remembering all the bad things

The bad things I had done to you, and you to me.

You weren’t an angel, this can’t be argued

But the guilt of my own words drag me back down like glue

I’ve changed now, you know that, you can see it in my face

I’m calmer now, more collected and soft

But you’re gone now and it’s too late to be different

But every time I look in the mirror and start thinking it through.

I realize that the Devil in me, was always you.
