Dancing with the Devil

by Set It Offon Midnight (The Final Chapter)

[Intro]

Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil

You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel

'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil

[Verse 1]

Where am I? My hands are tied

Turn on the lights and I see you standing

Over me, it's hard to breathe

I can't believe that you'd do this to me

[Pre-Chorus]

Years of us building the trust up

No love was ever enough

I'm foolish to think we were friends

It's funny how it ends

[Chorus]

You know, when times get tough, you always give up

I know your smoking gun's the tip of your tongue

You take your aim to point the blame, it's time we let it go

So save your lies, behind those eyes, you're a devil in disguise

[Post-Chorus]

Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil

You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel

'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil

[Verse 2]

Now it's time to pay the price

No playing nice when you live so selfish

Have a drink and make a scene

Embarrass me 'cause you're lost and hopeless

[Pre-Chorus]

Years of us building the trust up

No love was ever enough

I'm foolish to think we were friends

It's funny how it ends

[Chorus]

And you know, when times get tough, you always give up

I know your smoking gun's the tip of your tongue

You take your aim to point the blame, it's time we let it go

So save your lies, behind those eyes, you're a devil in disguise

[Post-Chorus]

Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil (Yeah)

You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel

'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil

[Bridge]

You try to act as if you're saving me

But you wouldn't cut the rope if it was hanging me

I'm sick of people saying what you sow, you reap

'Cause I've been counting down the minutes of that, so to speak

Think of all the hours and hours of grind

That would turn it into sour findings

As I wonder if our resigning is becoming the silver lining

But I'm not a coward, I'm fighting

'Cause if they're the meat, then I'm biting

Go ahead ignoring and smiling

'Cause I'm climbing 'til I let

[Chorus]

You know, when times get tough, you always give up

I know your smoking gun's the tip of your tongue

You take your aim to point the blame, it's time we let it go

So save your lies, behind those eyes (Yeah, yeah)

You know, when times get tough, you always give up

I know your smoking gun's the tip of your tongue

You take your aim to point the blame, it's time we let it go

So save your lies, behind those eyes, you're a devil in disguise

[Outro]

Life's too short to be dancing with the Devil (Yeah)

You best sleep with a blanket and a shovel (Uh-huh)

'Cause life's too short to be dancing with the Devil
