Carter James - Devil in Me (Acoustic) Lyrics

Well here I am sittin' at the bar another lonely night beneath those neon stars
Got a heart full of emptiness, a soul to mend, and a bottle of whiskey, my only friend
And there he stands with his pack in hand tryna' kick that habit, doin' all he can
We share a glance, a nod, a sigh
Both trapped in a struggle under the same sky

I hate love like he hates smokin', It's a battle we're steadily chokin
With every puff and every broken heart Tryin' our best to rip these chains straight from our hearts

I've been hurt too many times He's quit before, but not tonight
He pulls his stool right next to mine
We share our stories near closing time
Two lost souls who drown in pain Looking for shelter from all the rain

I hate love like he hates smokin', It's a battle we're steadily chokin
With every puff and every broken heart Tryin' our best to rip these chains straight from our hearts

Sometimes it feels like we'll never win But we keep on fightin' through the thick and the thin
Maybe someday we'll break free From the grip of love and from the grip of nicotine

I hate love like he hates smokin', It's a battle we're steadily chokin
With every puff and every broken heart Tryin' our best to rip these god damn chains apart
