Devil Doesn’t Bargain Lyrics
[Intro: Alec Benjamin]
The devil doesn't bargain
[Verse 1: Alec Benjamin]
It's useless, don't do this, it's hubris to try
He's ruthless, you knew this, I told you, didn't I?
He's abusive, elusive, the truth is he lies
I know you don't want to let go
[Pre-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
And just like before, I can see that you're sure
You can change him, but I know you won't
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
[Post-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
The devil doesn't bargain
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 2: Alec Benjamin]
I'm not one to lecture, talk down to a friend
I don't mean to pressure, mean to condescend
But I just want what's best for you in the end
I know you don't want to let go
[Pre-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
And just like before, I can see that you're sure
You can change him, but I know you won't
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
[Post-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
The devil doesn't bargain
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
[Bridge: Alec Benjamin]
And I know you think he'll change this time
But I think that you will find
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
The devil doesn't bargain
He'll only break your heart again
It isn't worth it, darling
He's never gonna change
He'll never be Prince Charming
He'll only do you harm again
I don't mean to meddle
But the devil doesn't settle
No, the devil doesn't bargain
[Post-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
The devil doesn't bargain
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
The devil doesn't bargain
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
The devil doesn't bargain
