Lyrics Nicole Atkins

Nicole Atkins

You Were The Devil

Lay down your love, he commanded

And with those words I sealed the fate that was mine

Dark magic in your eyes

In dangerous ways you came and swayed a change in me

I gave my breath so I could suffocate your fire

Still it's the hate in your words I came to admire

Love waves goodbye, empty handed

You were the devil, now I'm turning into you

All through these years I have waited

For your nocturnal tongue to tell me I am found

And with a coolness I'm jaded

Fall to your knees and dig my heart up from the ground

Love waves goodbye, empty handed

You were the devil, now I'm turning into you
