Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

Track 11, Time: 5:09

-------------------------

As quiet as it is tonight

You'd almost think you were safe

Your eyes are full of surprises

They cannot predict my fate

Waiting underneath the stars

There's something you should know

The angels, they surround my heart

Telling me to let you go

Bridge:

I bet he couldn't

I bet he couldn't recognize

(First time:) But I played right into it

(Second time:) I still played right into it

Who am I to criticize

Somehow I'll get through it

And you won't even realize

Falling through your own disguise

Chorus:

It's like over and over

You're pushing me right down to the floor

I should just walk away

Over and over

I keep on coming back for more

I play into your fantasy

Now that it's over

You can lie to me right through your smile

I see behind your eyes

Now I'm sober

No more intoxicating my mind

(First two times:)

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

I do, I do

You almost fooled yourself this time

That all the saints be praised

You hide your sadness behind your smile

And you keep your lost heartbreaks

[Keep your lost heartbreaks]

The steps that edge along the ledge

It's much higher than it seems

But I've been on that ledge before

You can't hide yourself from me

(bridge)

(chorus)

Oh

(chorus)

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

Devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do

Devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do

I do, you

Devil wouldn't recognize you

Recognize you, but I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

I do
