The Devil


02 Nov

so go and kiss your lover
while I light a cigarette
your lips liked each other
the moment that they met

and mine will never quiver
as I lean against the wall
under the blow that you deliver
unaware of where it falls

The devil may care
I may be the devil too
but I’ve got my air of bravado
even if I don’t have you

walking home with headphones on
trying to soothe the sting
listening to sad songs
only Billie knows how to sing

then I’ll slide off my shoes
slip off my dress
a little wine and the Blues
can masquerade as happiness

The devil may care
I may be the devil too
but I’ve got my air of bravado
even if I don’t have you

so go and kiss your lover
while I count all my mistakes
there might be room for another
now you’re the one I’ll never make

The devil may care
I may be the devil too
but I’ve got my air of bravado
even if I don’t have you
