Between The Devil And Me

Hand on my heart I didn't start
I wanted none of it
The pleasure, the pain led me astray
Till there was no space between the devil and me

He's got a license to kill, he gets his thrill
Down by the watering hole
I'm next in line, head back in time
Trying to find some answers

Burning
I'm burning deep inside
Hurting
Can't find the reason why

I am not like you
I might have set my world on fire - what am I to do?
I may be lost forever
But until I see him that's between my devil and me

Head over heels, know how it feels
When you just want more of it
The secrets and lies shine through my eyes
Now there is no space between the devil and me

Somebody take me away, tell me to stay
Show me to a better place
Free from the pain, laugh in the rain
Tell me that it's ok

'Cause I'm burning
I'm burning deep inside
Hurting
Can't find the reason why

I am not like you
I might have set my world on fire - what am I to do?
I may be lost forever
But until I see him that's between my devil and me

When you were young
You had nothing and nothing was missing
Where's that childlike creature, barefoot rebel
Peter Pan with hungry eyes

Up on our hill
We'll be waiting forever for you, boy (forever for you)
Singing come home brother, come on soldier
You don't have to feel this way no more

The man looking down from his own private heaven
No one sees him crying, hears him crying
You know what it feels like now

If there's a light
Waiting there up ahead in the tunnel
You have to go your own way, find it your way
Maybe one day you'll be back again

Above the clouds
The sky is always blue
That's what they say
On my rainy days

Maybe I should fly away
Leave my shadow long and grey
Dry my tears for wasted years
Start the clock again

There's nothing left for me to do
I've seen it all and so have you
The only truth we'll ever know...
Is that life goes up and down

I am not like you
I might have set my world on fire - what am I to do?
I may be lost forever
But until I see him - wo oh

I am not like you
I might have set my world on fire - what am I to do?
I may be lost forever
But until I see him that's between my devil and me
But until I see him that's between... the devil in me
