Devil With The Green Eyes Lyrics - Altered Beast - Matthew Sweet

I can understand you're living in a prison 

I know you can only see me as a vision 

I might fade away with the coming of a new dawn 

And your heart is breaking. 

What are you gonna do now 

That you're tired of faking it? 

Well, it's hard to take it 

When you know what happens each time 

The devil with the green eyes 

Said you were never meant to be mine 

'Cause I came up from a dark world 

And every love I've ever know is dead 

If you come close enough to see I am inhuman 

I will tell you why you're feeling so uncertain 

Every word I say has a way of turning evil in you 

And your heart is breaking. 

What are you gonna do now 

That you're tired of faking it? 

Well, it's hard to take it 

When you know what happens each time 

The devil with the green eyes 

Said you were never meant to be mine 

'Cause I came up from a dark world 

And every love I've ever know is dead 

And your heart is breaking 

What are you gonna do now 

That you're tired of faking it? 

Well, it's hard to take it 

When you know what happens each time 

The devil with the green eyes 

Said you were never meant to be mine 

'Cause I came up from a dark world 

And every love I've ever known 

Every love I've ever known 

Every love I've ever know is dead
