Love Is The Devil

(Album: Swimming Lessons - 2019)

Tell me why
Love is the devil and I'm in hell tonight
How could she lie to me, tell me please
Love is the killer and I'm down on my knees
Begging her please just to spare my life

When I remember her eyes
And the many sweet lies that she told me
When she'd hold me oh so close to her
And when I think of her smile
Well I just have to pause for a while and recover
From this poisonous fallout left off from my lover
Woah, these tears they hold no barriers
No, no, no, no
For now I know I'm infected with her disease
I am the carrier of a broken heart

So tell me why
Love is the devil and I'm in hell tonight
How could she lie to me, tell me please
Love is the killer and I'm down on my knees
Begging her please just to spare my life

Knew that you were trouble from the start
But my lonely soul, clouded mind and fickle heart
Wouldn't let me do what was best for me and you
Everything was screaming out "separate"
But the arrogance made it hard to relate
Found joy in the pain of this game
You cut me deeper than I've ever been cut before
Still I can't find the courage to show you the door
Under your spell, caught up in your allure
You've got me hurting but crying out for more

Tell me why
Love is the devil and I'm in hell tonight
How could she lie to me, tell me please
Love is the killer and I'm down on my knees
Begging her please just to spare my life

Love is the devil and I'm in hell tonight
How could she lie to me, tell me please
Love is the killer and I'm down on my knees
Begging her please just to spare my life
