The Devil You Know

cutting and running is just logical
 obvious when a lover turns enemy
 i am the same man that i used to be
 i look the same in a lineup at least
 across a battlefield
 oh, i can't deny anything that's written down in ink
 but oh, eventually there's bound to be a jubilee
 for the devil you know
 who's calling to ask for one more chance to break your heart
 women and whiskey are persuasive
 at making me forget you
 regret stacked up on grief
 like any existential crisis
 you can't know what the price is
 until you feel the flame
 a gun to your head and a choice that breaks your heart
 to stay and double down or find a way to fall out of love
 with the devil you know
 who's calling to ask for one more chance to break your heart
 the devil you know
 who's calling to ask for one more chance to break your heart
 pure joy, it never existed
 or i used to resist it
 now i know too well
 that good things and bad things always mingle
 no stories are simple, landmines under feet
 from the devil you know
 who's calling to ask for one more chance to break your heart
 the devil you know
 who's calling to ask for one more chance to break your heart
