Better the Devil You Know - Galleons, Phil Bayer

Never again, never again, I know

Never again, never again, you know it has to end this way

Never again, never again, I know

Never again, never again, you know it has to end this way

No matter where I go, I see your face

I’d rather have my vision set ablaze

The hurt of losing you is too much for me to take

Take a pill and swallow it down

Your emotion’s six feet underground

Have a drink and spill your guts out

Don’t bottle it up, just let it

Drown us, drown us out

'Cause we’re already numb to the world around us

Hold me, hold me down

I’d rather cut out my tongue before I say we’re done

(Oh, before I say we’re done)

Before I say, before I say that we are done

No matter where I go, I see your face

I’d rather have my vision set ablaze

The hurt of losing you is too much for me to take

Take a chance and roll the dice

We’ll replace our worries with a vice

Put our old habits on ice

And bet it all on the serpent’s eyes

And when you lose, you don a different disguise

Then you slip away like a thief in the night

In the darkness of the alleyways, I’m blind

You stole my heart in the night

And threw it away in the gutter right outside

What do you want from me?

I can’t give you what could have been

Everything comes and everything goes

We’ve got to learn not to feel exposed

Drown us, drown us out

'Cause we’re already numb to the world around us

Hold me, hold me down

Never again, never again, I know

Never again, never again, you know it has to end this way

Never again, never again, I know

Never again, never again, you know it has to end this way

No matter where I go, I see your face

I’d rather have my vision set ablaze

The hurt of losing you is too much for me to take

But now I’ve got to learn to live this way

Wipe away the heartache and the pain

Caused by our self-destructive ways

Our self-destructive ways
