I sold my soul to the Devil of Pain
And he taught me “pride”
And he taught me “shame”
Looked into my eyes
He said, “Never look away”
“I’ll show you what they want you to say”
Don’t look now
I know this isn’t me
But I
Can’t seem to find my place
Everybody’s changed
Nothing feels the same
I followed him to the “Valley of Hope”
And he showed me things of our fates untold
Took me by the hand
As we wandered through the land
Whispering back thoughts of his secret plan
Don’t look now
I know this isn’t me
But I
Can’t seem to find my place
Everybody’s changed
Nothing feels the same
I try so hard
But I know that I’ll
Break your heart
Can’t seem to find my place
Everybody’s changed
Nothing feels the same
I sold my soul to the Devil of Pain
And he taught me “pride”
And he taught me “shame”
Looked into my eyes
He said, “Never look away”
“I’ll show you what they want you to say”
Don’t look now
I know this isn’t me
But I
Can’t seem to find my place
Everybody’s changed
Nothing feels the same
I try so hard
But I know that I’ll
Break your heart
Can’t seem to find my place
Everybody’s changed
Nothing feels the same
