lyrics
Between the Devil and Me
Hand on my heart I didn’t start
I wanted none of it
The pleasure, the pain led me astray
now there is no space between the devil and me
He’s got a license to kill, he gets his thrill down by the watering hole
I'm next in line, head back in time, trying to find some answers
Burning
I’m burning deep inside
Hurting
Can’t find the reason why
I am not like you, I might have set my world on fire but what am I to do
I may be lost forever, but until I see him that's between the devil and me
Head over heels, you know how it feels when you just want more of it
The secrets and lies shine through my eyes
until there’s no space between the devil and me
Somebody take me away, tell me to stay, show me to a better place
Free from the pain, laugh in the rain, tell me that it’s ok
Burning
I'm burning deep inside
Hurting
Can’t find the reason why
I am not like you, I might have set my world on fire but what am I to do
I may be lost forever, but until I see him that's between the devil and me
When you were young you had nothing and nothing was missing
Where’s that childlike creature, barefoot rebel, Peter Pan with hungry eyes
Up on our hill, we'll be waiting forever for you, boy
Singing come home brother, come on soldier, you don’t have to feel this way no more
The man in the moon looking down from his own private heaven
No one sees him crying, hears him crying, you know what it feels like now
If there's a light waiting there up ahead in the tunnel
You have to go your own way, find it your way, maybe one day you'll be back again
Above the clouds the sky is always blue
That's what they say on my rainy days
Maybe I should fly away, leave my shadow long and grey, dry my tears for wasted years, start the clock again
There's nothing left for me to do, I've seen it all and so have you
The only truth we'll ever know, is that life goes up and down
I am not like you, I might have set my world on fire but what am I to do
I may be lost forever, but until I see him that's between the devil and me
