Alexandria - Holy Lyrics

I tried to make a deal with the devil
He told me to go kick rocks
Said I could come back if nothing changed
The next few months
I never looked for him again
Though he wasn't all that bad
A little scary on the outside
With a heart made of glass
His was half full
Mine was half empty at the time
Couldn't see the forest for the trees
Couldn't tell where the sea meets the sky
But you weren't always the wrong person
You loved me once
Softly, slowly
Never right place, right time
But I loved you once
Softly, slowly
You're a sadist, but you made it seem holy
On my knees, is that what made me holy?
So when you see him, thank the devil for me
For showing kindness at such an open opportunity
Could've taken advantage, like you did
Instead, taught me life's not about revenge
Or how you sleep with it
Tell me how you sleep with it
And you should thank me too, I could've had you crawling
But I didn't
You're just human
And I can't fix it
You should know better, but you don't
And I should hate you, but I won't
So thank the devil
Thank the devil for giving me a mercy you couldn't show
Thank the devil for sending me home
(Will you love me again? I don't want it)
You weren't always the wrong person
You loved me once
(Will you love me again? I don't want it)
Softly, Slowly
Never right place, right time
(Will you love me again? I don't want it)
But I loved you once
(Will you love me again? I don't want it)
Softly, slowly
Will you love me again? I don't want it
Will you love me again? I don't want it
You weren't always the wrong person
You loved me once
Softly, slowly
Never right place, right time
But I loved you once
Softly, slowly
You're a sadist, but you made it seem holy
On my knees, is that what made me holy?
