Carla Lyrics - The Devil You Know - Snider Todd

An empty house is hard to bear 

Lonesome's falling everywhere 

Without you there's no light coming in 

That lucky dog jumped the fence 

Ain't seen him around here since 

And I don't guess I ever will again 

It didn't bother me any, I was good to that dog 

And just like you I'm gonna have to learn to let him go 

Leaving me was one thing Carla 

Why'd you have to leave so slow? 

Slow and shifty backing out 

You were trying to fill my head with doubt 

You nearly had me walking out on you 

About the oldest trick to be 

Playing on someone as old as me 

That can not be the best that you can do 

It didn't bother me any when he come around 

I just wish I hadn't been the last guy in town to know 

I didn't mind you walking away 

What hurt was how you walked so slow 

You know, you go 

You know that was so underhanded 

Grabbing him just as you landed 

After holding me the whole time you fell 

You tell me he'll be good to you 

Who wouldn't be? What else is new? 

And now all that I can do is wish you well 

It wouldn't have bothered me any 

If you left me when you wanted to 

But you just had to wait until you had some place better to go 

Leaving me was one thing Carla 

Why'd you have to leave so slow? 

I didn't mind you walking away 

What hurt was how you walked so slow
