​the devil’s dance

I know you watch me when I’m sleeping
You hope that I’ll whisper your name
You’ve gotta make sure I’m still breathing
So I can keep playing your games

It didn’t take me long to notice
That my life quickly slipped away
Unaware of all your motives
I let you hold me ’til I had to stay

I fell captive with your hand around my wrist
You drew me closer made me want the devil’s kiss
You held me tight until I felt my eyes go blind
Then you swayed me side to side

I know I’m always on your mind now
But I can’t help that you’re on mine
It’s not about the love that I found
Or how you made me fall behind

You tied the strings around your fingers
Tugged hard so I would fall apart
Your breath against my neck still lingers
I couldn’t live without your grip around my heart

I fell captive with your hand around my wrist
You drew me closer made me feel the devil’s grip
You held me tight until I felt my eyes go blind
Then you swayed me side to side
