[Verse 1] God, I wish it was simple Just doin' the best I can It takes everything I got Tryin' to be a good man [Chorus] My demon's better than your demon He's a different kinda hell But he's been trained, and he's well-behaved Long as he stays in his cell My demon's better than your demon He doesn't mind to sit and stare And I love him so, and I can't let go And it's just not fair [Verse 2] Yeah, he wakes up, shakes off, and roams Mornin' 'til noon, he eats me up and consumes And it takes all of me to get back home Yeah, but at night, I put him to bed, lay him down, and we fight He takes everything from me, but, hey, that's life [Chorus] My demon's better than your demon He's a different kinda hell But he's been trained, and he's well-behaved Long as he stays in his cell My demon's better than your demon He doesn't mind to sit and stare And I love him so, and I can't let go And it's just not fair [Bridge] God, I wish it was simple Just doin' the best I can It takes everything I got Tryin' to be a good man [Chorus] My demon's better than your demon He's a different kinda hell But he's been trained, and he's well-behaved Long as he stays in his cell My demon's better than your demon He doesn't mind to sit and stare And I love him so, and I can't let go And it's just not fair
