The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings

lyrics

You never think twice before you go and let me down
It would be nice to believe that you could change
I gave more than I took
I was just digging my own grave
Its time I cut my losses and learn from my mistakes

I wanted all the answers I found them all in you
It took till now to find out that none of them were true
The only thing consistent
Was all this fucking distance
The rest all fell apart in spite of every time I fixed it
It isnt that I held a grudge
Bitter is a better word
Because I'm getting numb to all the rumors that I've heard
The best that I can do now
Is to pick a new direction
That will face away from you
and set aside these recollections

You never think twice before you go and let me down
It would be nice to believe that you could change
I gave more than I took
I was just digging my own grave
Its time I cut my losses and learn from my mistakes

We dont know what we've lost
until the truth comes clawing out
and frankly dear your chance is gone
to alleviate my doubts
in case you somehow missed it
we just cant coexist in
this illusion of perfection we built
to hide ourselves from our own guilt
you won by a mile but i'm the one to blame
they all say this too will pass
so was it worth the game we played
the countless days of waiting
for you to come and save me
do we just forget it all because we couldn't take the fall

You never think twice before you go and let me down
It would be nice to believe that you could change
I gave more than I took
I was just digging my own grave
Its time I cut my losses and learn from my mistakes

I'm trying my best to look at the silver linings
It's been hell but I'll come out fighting
I was your mistake, you were my regret
Now it's in the past and better yet
I think I'll be alright
I'm trying my best to look at the silver linings
I'm trying my best
