If I were the Devil
If I were the Devil,
oh yes, I'd be your friend.
I'd whisper in the night,
"I'll be with you until the end."
If I were the Devil,
I'd help you up when you were down,
I'd be a reason for you to smile,
to you turn your life around.
If I were the Devil,
we'd dance, oh we'd have fun!
In a world in which you're a nobody,
with me, you'd be someone.
Yes, if I were the Devil,
in the darkness, I'd be your hope.
I'd be the version of your future,
that didn't end with a god damned rope.
If I were the Devil,
We'd watch the Light of your soul rise.
And in that Light you'd look at me,
and see an Angel in disguise.
Oh, if I were the Devil,
I'd hold your hand through all Hell's strife;
and in the sickness of your solitude,
I'd be the medicine that saves your life.
And if I were the Devil,
through it all, with you, I'd stay,
so that you'd finally know what Love looks like,
and then...
I'd simply walk away.
