Have you ever seen the devil in someone's eyes, and loved them anyway?

I did once - told her, and then I tried to keep her at bay.

~

She chased me down, she caught me, she made me her unwilling slave, you see,

Her kisses made me stay, made me enjoy every hurt that she so often gave me,

~

I was a blockbuster movie; She knew she only had me for rental,

She loved that I was a gentleman, who knew when not be gentle.

~

At last I broke it off, the beast inside me had grown,

I might have been hers temporarily, but I've always been my own,

~

I left one night, I never came back to her flat,

For I realized the devil was never in her eyes, but mine - how I wish I'd known that.
