The Devil's Part
Oo-ooh ooh
Oo-ooh ooh
Oo-ooh ooh ooh...
I'm sorry, darling
But I will not let you win
I have seen this before
And I'm still recovering
But I took his trembling hands
I led them to my skin
They twisted 'round my heart
And let the dark right in
So he came to me one night
To tell me he is not alone
He's carrying that girl
Who had left him on his own
She opened up his skin
She lives inside his heart
And he is scratching, begging
For her to depart
Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I'm down on my knees
Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part
So he shot his words like arrows
But they hit me as would stone
He led me out of town to tell me
I would die alone
'Cause in my years of 25
I gave a fool my heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part
Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I'm down on my knees
Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part
The devil's part, ha!
The devil's part, ha!
The devil's part, ha!
The devil's part
The devil's part...
I could say I learnt a lesson
That I won't repeat again
With every passing year
I learned to bury sin
But I'm older now, truth be told
I've fallen right apart
Now I spend the last days burning
Paper through my heart
Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I'm down on my knees
Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part...
Oo-ooh ooh
Oo-ooh ooh ooh...
I'm sorry, darling
But I will not let you win
I have seen this before
And I'm still recovering
But I took his trembling hands
I led them to my skin
They twisted 'round my heart
And let the dark right in
So he came to me one night
To tell me he is not alone
He's carrying that girl
Who had left him on his own
She opened up his skin
She lives inside his heart
And he is scratching, begging
For her to depart
Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I'm down on my knees
Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part
So he shot his words like arrows
But they hit me as would stone
He led me out of town to tell me
I would die alone
'Cause in my years of 25
I gave a fool my heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part
Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I'm down on my knees
Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part
The devil's part, ha!
The devil's part, ha!
The devil's part, ha!
The devil's part
The devil's part...
I could say I learnt a lesson
That I won't repeat again
With every passing year
I learned to bury sin
But I'm older now, truth be told
I've fallen right apart
Now I spend the last days burning
Paper through my heart
Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I'm down on my knees
Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part...
