Poison - The Devil Inside lyrics

He swears he'll love you by candlelight And for a while things seem all right And for a moment he hides The devil that lies inside And then one night in a fit of rage The demon raises his hand in hate And brings it down on you There is nothing you can do And then one night in a twist of fate The angels bring your face to me I cannot erase the memories Of you lying there looking up at me Chorus Please take the demon from my head Won't you please erase the memories And ghosts who haunt my bed I just want you to understand That i'm gonna be the only man To ever touch your soul And i ain't never letting go There's a room that lies down the hall Where you sit and write you poems Of love and mystery Of faith and fantasy And you keep a secret lover there And a book beside an easy chair That you read before you go to bed To hide the memories in your head And now i try to understand the pain You struggle for the words to say It don't come out right As you lay your body down Chorus There's a place where you go I've been, i'll never know The pain you keep inside The secrets that you hide But i try to understand your pain And be a shelter from the falling rain Just maybe i feel what you're going through Maybe i have been there too Please take the demons from my head Won't you please take the demons from my head (i shall try) Repeat
