The Devil's an old friend
Who never really cared
If I was alive
Or nearly dead
His love, forsaken
Helped me find home
And when I was broken
He made me feel strong.
The Devil's a close friend
Because he's the only one
Who'll tell me where to hide
When everyone has a gun.
He's the only one
Who could ever be
Half as cynical as me.
I'm starting to realise
How stupid I've been
And it's all because of him.
I'm starting to realise
The mistakes I've made
And he won't let it fade.
If only I knew him
As well as he knew me,
He's the life
In my heart, that beats.
