You Were The Devil lyrics
by Nicole Atkins
Lay down your love, he commanded
And with those words I sealed the fate that was mine
Dark magic in your eyes
In dangerous ways you came and swayed a change in me
I gave my breath so I could suffocate your fire
Still it's the hate in your words I came to admire
Love waves goodbye, empty-handed
You were the devil, now I'm turning into you
All through these years I have waited
For your nocturnal tongue to tell me I am found
And with a coolness, I am jaded
Fall to your knees and dig my heart up from the ground
Love waves goodbye, empty-handed
You were the devil, now I'm turning into you
