The Devil Inside Lyrics - Poison

He swears he'll love you by candlelight 

And for a while things seem all right 

And for a moment he hides 

The devil that lies inside 

And then one night in a fit of rage 

The demon raises his hand in hate 

And brings it down on you 

There is nothing you can do 

And then one night in a twist of fate 

The angels bring your face to me 

I cannot erase the memories 

Of you lying there looking up at me 

Chorus 

Please take the demon from my head 

Won't you please erase the memories 

And ghosts who haunt my bed 

I just want you to understand 

That I'm gonna be the only man 

To ever touch your soul 

And I ain't never letting go 

There's a room that lies down the hall 

Where you sit and write you poems 

Of love and mystery 

Of faith and fantasy 

And you keep a secret lover there 

And a book beside an easy chair 

That you read before you go to bed 

To hide the memories in your head 

And now I try to understand the pain 

You struggle for the words to say 

It don't come out right 

As you lay your body down 

Chorus 

There's a place where you go 

I've been, I'll never know 

The pain you keep inside 

The secrets that you hide 

But I try to understand your pain 

And be a shelter from the falling rain 

Just maybe I feel what you're going through 

Maybe I have been there too 

Please take the demons from my head 

Won't you please take the demons from my head 

(I shall try) 

Repeat
