Burning the Candle at Both Ends, Pt. 2 Lyrics by Down Again

The Devil Is a Gentleman

2020

[Verse 1]
I thought I had you in the palm of my hand
It was too easy, I didn’t understand
It was all a game, all apart of your plan
Guess I got lost in your eyes, laying in the sand
I feel myself slipping away, I feel a cold come over me
My mouth is frozen as I’m sitting in your passenger seat
What’s perfect always fades, but now I’m questioning
Was it real, was I imagining?
[Chorus]
All the words you said playing over in my head
I can’t shake it off, I can’t shake it off
I finally fall asleep but there you are in my dreams
I can’t shake it off, I can’t shake
[Verse 2]
Please don’t ask me to kiss you
Cause you know, that I can’t resist you
God I hate that I miss you
Yea I know, I’ve got some issues
That I don’t know how to work through
You brought all thе worst parts of me
To the forefront of еverything
What took you so long to leave
[Chorus]
All the words you said playing over in my head
I can’t shake it off, I can’t shake it off
I finally fall asleep but there you are in my dreams
I can’t shake it off, I can’t shake
[Verse 3]
Whatever it takes, never meant what you’d say
Your pretty words cast a spell over me
There was no give and take, always got your way
I can’t believe I let you walk all over me
Never cared at all, took what you wanted to
Wish I could take back every minute that I spent on you
Wanted to walk away, but couldn’t let you go
It’s always easier to stick with the devil you know
How many times have you lied to your friends
How much longer do you think they’ll take it
Lair
[Bridge]
I feel myself slipping away, I feel a cold come over me
My mouth is frozen as I’m sitting in your passenger seat
What’s perfect always fades, but now I’m questioning
Was it real, was I imagining?
What goes around comes around in the end
You’ve made your bed, and we all know where you’ve been sleeping
[Chorus]
All the words you said playing over in my head
I can’t help it, won’t let myself forget
I finally fall asleep but there you are in my dreams
Why can’t I get through my head you let go of me
All the words you said playing over in my head
I can’t shake it off, I can’t shake it off
I finally fall asleep but there you are in my dreams
I can’t shake it off
