Trying not to go back to an evil ex-boyfriend

Lyrics

The Devil I Know


I was walking through Hell when I slipped and fell,
Looked up, and I saw you
Standing there with a grin, looking better than sin
And I tried to decide what to do
Should I run away I?d be a fool to stay
It was hard enough to leave you before
Well not long ago you had me feeling so low
It?s a game I shouldn?t play anymore

Chorus:
Trying to let go of the devil I know
It?s so easy just to give in
Trying to let go of the devil I know
Gotta find that strength from within

No real love between us
Just pure meanness was all I felt coming from you
Trying to let go of the devil I know

It was a long way to fall, thought we had it all
But the illusion was never quite real
Now that I?m standing here it?s perfectly clear
It was my soul that you wanted to steal
No words you could say could make me wanna stay
No new side of you to reveal
?Cause you?re still the same and you?ll never change
And I deserve a way better deal

Chorus:

I?ll forgive you in time, I know I?m gonna be fine
You?re memory will eventually fade
Trying to let go of the devil I know

Bridge:
Now I?m face to face with my biggest fear
Head on with my strongest desire
I gotta find my way outta here
Before the flames burn any higher

So long gotta run, wouldn?t say it?s been fun
When Hell freezes over let me know
Trying to let go, I gotta let go,
I?m letting go of the devil I know
