Dancing with the Devil

After hours never know which level we'll end up on
Thought we staying in but the message read then left on
She was under covers but the bed it wasn't slept on
She loves me at my worst because I fake it put my best on
Rest on the fact that I can cover up forever
Like makeup she put on but I like her without it better
I'm not in her way, she can do whatever
She left I wouldn't write to her, no messages no letters
I'll let her go, like I've done with all of them
We might've started talking but where did it begin
I open up my heart too early always let 'em in
I try to keep up these walls but truthfully they're paper thin
She can rip 'em she can burn 'em either way they're coming down
Butterflies are floating every time she comes around
But then she, clips my wings, falling down gravity
Half of me is left behind along with all her apathy
Does she love me does she not, trending to the ladder
I've been through this before I didn't think I could get sadder
I could pray and go to mass but none of that matters
She an angel in my eyes but even heaven wouldn't have her

I've been dancing with the devil
Who would've thought she looked so good
I don't think I'll ever settle
It me harder than I thought it would
Said I've been dancing with the devil
Who would've thought she looked so good
I don't think I'll ever settle
It me harder than I thought it would

Siren calling out to me I'm high up on my balcony
The life I live been sheltered but I felt her pull it out of me
Doubt you see the cloudy seas the lousiness surrounding me
Like how can we come out the deep and nightmares when we're sound asleep
I've been counting sheep, that shit don't work
I turn on Take Care, that shit gon' hurt
I think about regrets, I'm lower than dirt
I relapse and regress and I toss and turn, ugh
Even when I'm with her I'm not always there
I think, her life is perfect but not always fair
Cause I'm, here on the surface but deep in despair
She thinks, I don't get nervous with the calm in my stair
Well the calm is in the air but I'm hectic inside
I don't think she'll stick around with my eclectic demise
Turn off the lights she's out the door that's electric slide
Heart seeking for connection but the brain let's it hide (Let it hide)

I've been dancing with the devil
Who would've thought she looked so good
I don't think I'll ever settle
It hit me harder than I thought it would
Said I've been dancing with the devil
Who would've thought she looked so good
I don't think I'll ever settle
It hit me harder than I thought it would
