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.
