If I were the Devil (2022)

If I were the Devil

If I were the Devil,

oh yes, I'd be your friend.

I'd whisper in the night,

"I'll be with you until the end."

If I were the Devil,

I'd help you up when you were down,

I'd be a reason for you to smile,

to you turn your life around.

If I were the Devil,

we'd dance, oh we'd have fun!

In a world in which you're a nobody,

with me, you'd be someone.

Yes, if I were the Devil,

in the darkness, I'd be your hope.

I'd be the version of your future,

that didn't end with a god damned rope.

If I were the Devil,

We'd watch the Light of your soul rise.

And in that Light you'd look at me,

and see an Angel in disguise.

Oh, if I were the Devil,

I'd hold your hand through all Hell's strife;

and in the sickness of your solitude,

I'd be the medicine that saves your life.

And if I were the Devil,

through it all, with you, I'd stay,

so that you'd finally know what Love looks like,

and then...

I'd simply walk away.
