  • My heart and soul were never mine to own
    What you care to die for?
    What you care to die for?
    We die alone, we'll all die young
    What you care to die for?
    What you care to die from?

    Snow, snow glistens on the ledge, whiskey on the ledge
    Shake it out and light a cigarette
    Miss me when you, you wish you weren't right
    Shake me all out if I'm wrong, for you, for you
    Shake it all out when I'm gone, I, for you

    Is the devil so bad if he cries in his sleep, while the earth turns
    And his kids learned to say, "fuck you", they don't love you
    Does the devil get scared if she dies in her dreams, while the earth burns?
    She cries 'cause she's nothing like you, is she like you?

    What you want from a devil like me, devil like me?
    You see, the devil don't mean to be evil
    He just regrettably forgets to exceed expectation

    Holes riddled in your head, little bit of lead
    Shake it out and line silhouette
    Miss me when you, you wish weren't kind of glad
    Shake me all out when you're done, for you, for you
    Shake it all out when I'm gone, I, for you

    Is the devil so bad if he cries in his sleep, while the earth turns
    And his kids learned to say, "fuck you", they don't love you
    Does the devil get scared if she dies in her dreams, while the earth burns?
    She cries cause she's nothing like you, is she like you?
    What do you want from a devil like me, am I like you? Writer/s: Samuel Isaias Melo
