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
