[Verse 1] I saw him by the gate Black coat in the dust His grin was made of nails His eyes were full of rust He said, “Boy, come closer” Like he owned my name I spit in the dirt and laughed Said, “You came to the wrong flame” [Pre-Chorus] He took one step I took two He said, “What do you want?” I said, “I came for you” [Chorus] You’re not here for me I’m here for you You brought that old smoke Now watch what I do You’re not here for me I’m here for you Better run, old devil I’m here for you (I’m here for you) [Verse 2] He flashed me all my sins Like cards in his hand All the love I lost All the lies I planned But I wore my scar tissue Like a second skin I’d been through that fire And I’d walk back in [Pre-Chorus] He said, “You’ll break” I said, “Maybe true” Then I stepped right closer Said, “I came for you” [Chorus] You’re not here for me I’m here for you You brought that old smoke Now watch what I do You’re not here for me I’m here for you Better run, old devil I’m here for you (I’m here for you) [Bridge] He reached for my soul I reached for his crown One hand on the night One hand on the ground He blinked like a candle In a churchyard wind I said, “This is my road And it ends with me grinnin’” [Final Chorus] You’re not here for me I’m here for you You brought that old smoke Now watch what I do You’re not here for me I’m here for you Better run, old devil I’m here for you (I’m here for you) You’re not here for me I’m here for you You came with the fire Now I bring it too You’re not here for me I’m here for you Better run, old devil I’m here for you (I’m here for you)
