Lyrics
DEVILS I USED TO KNOW
I recognize your taste
You been on my lips before
But I'm owning my mistakes
I don't need you anymore
Pulled me in with your smell.
Too bad I couldn't tell you're no good for me
CHORUS:
FAMILIAR TEMPTATION, YOU WERE MY VICE
DAILY DISTRACTION, TO GET ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
GUILTY PLEASURE, YOU FED MY DARKEST SIDE
NOW WATCH ME GO, I'M SAYING GOODBYE,
GOODBYE TO ALL OF THE DEVILS I USED TO KNOW
Pushed your way into my story
Set up camp inside my heart
You were never there for me
When you left, and you just left scars
Now I'm feeling my courage
And leaving this wreckage behind
CHORUS REPEAT
BRIDGE
I wanted you badly, but baby you burned me
(could be spoken: "Guess you were my cigarette
And I quit.....)
CHORUS : REPEAT
