The Devil Was't Me

Rewrite of Kiss' The Devil Is Me

 

I ran from your temptation

I prayed to find

Some kinda salvation (Yeah)

I screamed at the love God

Still Could't seem to save me

From your romentic damnation

(Yeah)

My heart was hot

But yours was cold

Eyes blinded to the truth

By emotions so eager to lie

So ruthless

From my innocent book of love

You ripped that page

Now without memory bitterly burning

Those false letters of adoring

I just cannot read

Left me so rude for him

Made me doubt my ability as a woman

To keep a man

My man

Still wakes me up every night

In a cold sweat

My shame rised to the ulimate degree

I try so hard

To tell my

 

The devil was't me

Oh baby no it was't

No no

 

I've lived

Far too long

In a lonely confusion

Choked up by the past

Mistakes I made

Falling for a conman's illusions

I've cried a thousand times

On a thousand lonesome nights

But I won't cry anymore

Breaking my addiction

To that same ole victicrat whine

Your turn, baby

To scream

For a lover's done wrong absolution

(Oh yeah)

I will no longer

Stand on this mountain

Alone and broken

Oh no

Not one more night

Will I wake up in a cold sweat

My shame rised to the ulimate degree

When I know

Yeah, I know better

 

When I take a look

A look in my mirror

Baby, tell me

What do you think I see

The devil was't me

 

I fought for as hard as I could

Now I don't wanna fight anymore

Your turn

To take it

Cause I'm done living with the blame

The devil was't me

Oh baby, no no

It was't

 

Yeah!

Hell yeah, baby

The devil was never me
