With the devil in my ear I set my morals aside
I tested every remedy to cure the sad I suffered most of my life
For a while, everything was just fine
For a while I even gained the confidence I didn't have as a child
...and so it goes
With the devil in my ear I set my values ablaze
I did some terrible things that I will live with for the rest of my days
For a while, I was begging for change
But with the devil in my ear I didn't have any say at all
...and so it goes
This might be the hardest thing that I will ever do
But I can't avoid the truth of how my actions affect you
I am weak, I am guilty
I know you might not forgive me and that's fine
I am weak, I am guilty
I wish no one ever met me
I guess I never learned what it takes to be strong
...and so it goes
I'm prone to only what I know
And I know I can't do this alone
I can't be that person anymore
I know I'm guilty, I know you might not forgive me
But I'm ready and I'm willing
These are the blues of my future history
