Not the Devil You Remember

[Verse 1] They say I’m a monster They whisper my name A storm on the horizon A burning hot flame You look at me different Like you know what I’ll do But I’m telling you darling My heart beats for you [Prechorus] Don’t believe the old stories The future’s a lie [Chorus] I’m not the devil you remember Not the darkness in your head I’m not the devil you remember I’ll love you instead I’m not the devil you remember That bad dream you dread No not the devil you remember Believe what I said [Verse 2] Your eyes hold a sadness A shadow so deep You see all the endings The secrets I keep They say I will hurt you Destroy all your kin But I’m a new chapter Where goodness can win [Bridge] I can change my own fate Break the chains of the past This love that I feel now Forever will last I swear on the stars above I swear on my soul You’re my only true love You make my heart whole [Chorus] I’m not the devil you remember Not the darkness in your head I’m not the devil you remember I’ll love you instead I’m not the devil you remember That bad dream you dread No not the devil you remember
