I can still taste you on my lips, your tenderness You always gave me something The way you made me feel before you left See you're jadin' me, dazin' me And I just wasn't ready, cash on, walk out on today Oh Lord, still you always keep me wantin' Oh, let me go, you let me down When I'm with you, I'm broken now You made me feel, you understand With you I won't be, a better man (You give me the demon to love you) Got too many reasons why I can’t (You give me the demon in me) Only the tiger seems to always pick The safest place for hiding People love to say, I'm blind to see I can't face it, I'm wasted And you never speak When that's all I ever need Oh Lord, still you always keep me wantin' Oh, let me go, you let me down When I'm with you, I'm broken now You made me feel, you understand With you I won't be, a better man (You give me the demon to love you) Got too many reasons why I can’t (You give me the demon in me) Oh Lord, you picked me up so many times But now you just break my soul No more, I tried to stop loving you But I don't really have control Oh Lord, no matter how hard I try I always end up on this road Oh, still you always keep me wantin' Oh, let me go, you let me down When I'm with you, I'm broken now You made me feel, you understand With you I won't be, a better man (You give me the demon to love you) Got too many reasons why I can’t (You give me the demon in me) (You give me the demon to love you) Every single reason why I’m back (You give me the demon in me)
