Lyrics: Kate Voegele. The Devil In Me.

Far in the distance
This is the view from the other side
How did I let this pass me by?

You took me for granted
Planted thorns in this garden of mine
What are the chances? My hope has died

Please have mercy, you?ve unnerved me
I don't deserve this pain, no

So don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil in me

Thinking it over
Those were days dark as ebony night
The end of October seemed like a lifetime

I had a suspicion
But didn't want to believe you a liar
You had a mission to prove me right

You took my trust, ground it to dust
Found out I know better, yeah-yeah

So don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil

And I don't wanna feel the pain
And I don't want another day
Shackled to your ball and chain

You're entirely a pain
And I'm so tired of explaining
The sensation of no Novocain

I don't have a prayer
If there is no charity in your heart
Couldn?t you spare me? I've done my part, yeah

Don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil

Don't break my heart, I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
And I'm torn apart, you've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?

Do you not see
How I'm begging on my knees?
Now don't speak, don't breathe
You bring out the devil in me

Out the devil in me
Out the devil in me
Devil in me
Devil in me
