Devil Doesn’t Bargain Lyrics – Alec Benjamin

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, Alec recognizes a pattern. He sees that his friend is convinced they can change the devil, but Alec is sure that they will not succeed. It's a reflection of repeated attempts and failures to change a toxic person.

[Chorus]
The chorus reinforces the central message. Alec states that the devil will only break his friend's heart again and again. He insists that trying to change the devil is not worth it because the devil will never transform into a better person. Instead of becoming someone kind and loving (Prince Charming), the devil will continue to cause harm. Alec doesn't want to interfere, but he feels compelled to warn that the devil is unyielding and uncompromising.

[Verse 2]
Alec expresses that he doesn't want to lecture or condescend to his friend. He clarifies that his intention is not to pressure but to look out for his friend's well-being. He reiterates that he wants what is best for his friend, even though he knows they are reluctant to let go of the toxic person.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, Alec acknowledges that his friend believes the devil will change this time. However, he suggests that the friend will ultimately realize the truth—that the devil is incapable of change.
