Another sleepless night
She can't take much more
Broken promises
Scattered on the floor
Coffee in silence
She looks the other way
He leaves without a word
It's just another day.
It doesn't have to be like this
Lonely days and nights
It doesn't have to be like this
Always that voice in the back of your mind.
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know.
Another cigarette
She gave up trying to quit
Another wasted day
There's no escape from it
It hurts her head to think
She pours another drink.
It doesn't have to be like this
This ain't no kind of life
It doesn't have to be like this
Always that voice in the back of your mind.
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know.
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know.
It doesn't have to be like this
It doesn't have to be like this
Silence that voice in the back of your mind.
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know.
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know.
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know
The Devil that you know
Is better than the Devil that you don't know.
