Holy Lyrics

I tried to make a deal with the devil

He told me to go kick rocks

Said I could come back if nothing changed

The next few months

I never looked for him again

Though he wasn't all that bad

A little scary on the outside

With a heart made of glass

His was half full

Mine was half empty at the time

Couldn't see the forest for the trees

Couldn't tell where the sea meets the sky

But you weren't always the wrong person

You loved me once

Softly, slowly

Never right place, right time

But I loved you once

Softly, slowly

You're a sadist, but you made it seem holy

On my knees, is that what made me holy?

So when you see him, thank the devil for me

For showing kindness at such an open opportunity

Could've taken advantage, like you did

Instead, taught me life's not about revenge

Or how you sleep with it

Tell me how you sleep with it

And you should thank me too, I could've had you crawling

But I didn't

You're just human

And I can't fix it

You should know better, but you don't

And I should hate you, but I won't

So thank the devil

Thank the devil for giving me a mercy you couldn't show

Thank the devil for sending me home

(Will you love me again? I don't want it)

You weren't always the wrong person

You loved me once

(Will you love me again? I don't want it)

Softly, Slowly

Never right place, right time

(Will you love me again? I don't want it)

But I loved you once

(Will you love me again? I don't want it)

Softly, slowly

Will you love me again? I don't want it

Will you love me again? I don't want it

You weren't always the wrong person

You loved me once

Softly, slowly

Never right place, right time

But I loved you once

Softly, slowly

You're a sadist, but you made it seem holy

On my knees, is that what made me holy?
