[Verse 1] I gave her my nights, my years, my name Thought her love was loyal—turned out just a game She walked in shining like the break of day But sunshine shouldn’t burn you that way Held her close, thought love was mine But she was dancin’ with shadows the whole damn time Prayed she was heaven-sent While she was spendin’ my love like it paid her rent [Pre-Chorus] Her kiss tasted sweet like honey But stung me deep like a bee Those angel eyes could make a preacher sin But her truth hit harder than the whiskey or gin That angel smile covered up the demons within [Chorus] Devil in disguise, she fooled my eyes Talked soft as a hymn, but her heart told lies Thunder in her laugh, cold in her touch Had me prayin’ for a woman who never gave much Lost all my time to that crooked smile She played me to perfection with that wicked style [Verse 2] Built her a home with these two bare hands Framed every promise in forever plans Said she loved the man I tried to be But her truth slipped quick as the cypress leaves Called her my queen, my steady light She said “I love you” every night But behind locked doors I met her lies My angel turned to a stranger before my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Her voice poured smooth like velvet But her truth was laced with thorns She wore a crown of silver But her soul was cracked and worn Every “I love you” she gave Was just a line she learned to save [Chorus] Devil in disguise, she fooled my eyes Talked soft as a hymn, but her heart told lies Thunder in her laugh, cold in her touch Had me prayin’ for a woman who never gave much Lost all my time to that crooked smile She played me to perfection with that wicked style [Bridge] I poured one more round and let her memory burn Some kinds of love you only live to learn I thought I’d found heaven when she walked into my life Now I know the devil can look just like paradise [Final Chorus] Devil in disguise, she fooled my eyes But I walked from the wreckage and cut them ties Her thunder’s quiet now, her storm has died She’s haunting some other poor man’s pride I took back my heart and my foolish smile Now I’m walkin’ out stronger by a country mile [Outro] Yeah, I’m walkin’ out stronger by a country mile
