Adia Victoria - Devil Is A Lie lyrics
Artist: Adia Victoria
album: Silences
Sneak away to do my dirt
I like the things that make me hurt
They say the weak shall inherit the earth
But the world was never enough
I keep my head held high
My eyes on the sky
The devil keeps telling me lies
And it don't matter what I do
I know my demon's coming too
The devil keeps telling me lies
♪
I've tried to care for all the things
They say that I should care
But I've paid my dues, to play my blues
And the truth is, I never cared
But really what is testing me
Is the man who's sitting next to me
The stress of always having to be happy all the time
You give an inch, they take a mile
No, you will not make me smile
I don't want to, I don't have to
Be happy all the time
Keep my head held high
My eyes on the sky
The devil keeps telling me lies
And it don't matter what I do
I know my demon's coming too
The devil keeps telling me lies
Try to make it on my own
Build my home up on the stone
But the devil keeps telling me lies
And I've been washed up on the sand
I've ruined all my plans
'Cause the devil keeps telling me lies, lies, lies
♪
I keep my head held high
My eyes on the sky
The devil keeps telling me lies
And it don't matter what I do
I know my demon's coming too
The devil keeps telling me lies
I've tried to make it on my own
And build my home up on the stone
But the devil keeps telling me lies
And I've been washed up on the sand
I've ruined all my plans
'Cause the devil keeps telling me, he keeps on telling me lies
He keeps on telling me lies
He keeps on telling me lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies, lies
Lies, lies
I like the things that make me hurt
They say the weak shall inherit the earth
But the world was never enough
I keep my head held high
My eyes on the sky
The devil keeps telling me lies
And it don't matter what I do
I know my demon's coming too
The devil keeps telling me lies
