You read the pulse. He touches like he’s afraid to bruise me. You touch like you want proof I’m real. You don’t soften your hands. You don’t soften your words. You don’t pretend I’m easy. [Pre-Chorus] They call you a mistake. I call you momentum. [Chorus] You’re the devil I know. The heat in my throat. The yes I won’t revoke. You’re the devil I know. Too sharp. Too bold. Too close to let go. And I know I know I know you’re wrong. But I’d rather choke on something honest than breathe something staged. You’re the devil I know. [Verse 2] He offers stability. You offer consequence. He builds a future. You build a reaction. When you say my name it’s not careful. It’s claimed. Like you’re not asking if I can handle it. Like you already know I can. And that’s what keeps me here. [Pre-Chorus] They say intensity fades. Then why does this still hit? [Chorus] You’re the devil I know. The mark I don’t hide. The pull I don’t fight. You’re the devil I know. No filter. No lies. Just tension and eye contact. And I know I know I know you’re wrong. But I’d rather be wrecked by something real than untouched by everything else. You’re the devil I know. [Bridge] Maybe I don’t want balance. Maybe I want impact. Maybe I don’t want comfort. Maybe I want collapse. You don’t save me. You test me. And I don’t back down. [Final Chorus] You’re the devil I know. The choice I own. The risk I won’t postpone. You’re the devil I know. Too deep. Too close. Too wired into my bones. And I know I know I know you’re wrong. But I’d rather stand in something volatile than sleep through something mild. You’re the devil I know. You’re the devil I know. You’re the devil I know.
