Devilish Ways

Devilish ways, watches aim
Slowly replaced innocence
Was it staged taking out that age?
I'm not blaming you
But I'm not staying
Not staying true
Too young when your mother died
You did not even cry
Just wondering where she'd gone
Ever, ever since that day
You have been too afraid
To ever sleep alone
She won't let go no matter what I say or do
How'd I become everyone that once abandoned you?
And what will it take to put you at ease?
Too young when your mother died
You did not even cry
Just wondering where she'd gone
Ever, ever since that day
You have been too afraid
To ever sleep alone
Unaccountable for all that use of her
I don't have the strength to make it go away
Just when it ticks you off and saved you before lust
Or am I just a cause, a trigger for the worth?
Here today, still your problem
Keep you safe, here tomorrow
No, I don't really want to have to break your heart
And there's something I need, I need to tell you
If I don't come clean, I'd be leading you on
There's something I need, I need to tell you
If I don't come clean, I'd be leading you on
