Demon

[Verse 1]
Now, I'm reminded of the summer
When I thought I knew you
A fool, believing everything you told me
And even maybe last winter
When I thought your heart was in it
And you said you'd do whatever for me
I was lured into lies, got lost in your eyes
Let you violate my trust time and time again
And when you cried about your life
I would sympathize
Welcome you with open arms, my friends, they call me foolish

[Pre-Chorus]
Too many times
I put myself on the line trying to protect you
Similar to a drug
It took me too many doses 'fore the poison hit me
Now, I'm left here, feeling like
I been struck by lightning, this is frightening
'Cause everyone warned me and I didn't believe them
Now, I want you to know

[Chorus]
Although you may be grown, it's evident you haven't been raised
Coming from a broken home with little friends, that's your claim to fame
I had to learn that I could not believe a thing you say
But you gone learn the hard way, baby
You cannot break the arms that hold you daily

[Verse 2]
You claim to came from the hood
Often misunderstood
Abused, neglected, and looked down upon
And all I did was treat you good
When no one else could
Bare to even look at you
Broke relations with you friends
Manipulated them with no attempts to make amends
That should've warned me
If I would've listened to my mother
Or maybe all the others
That tried to warn me that you was schemin

[Pre-Chorus]
Too many times
I put myself on the line trying to protect you
Similar to a drug
It took me too many doses 'fore the poison hit me
Now, I'm left here, feeling like
I been struck by lightning, this is frightening
'Cause everyone warned me, but I didn't believe them
Now, I want you to know

[Chorus]
Although you may be grown, it's evident you haven't been raised
Coming from a broken home with little friends, that's your claim to fame
I had to learn that I could not believe a thing you say
But you gone learn the hard way, baby
You cannot break the arms that hold you daily

[Bridge]
And I don't hate you 'cause you made me better
Girl, that shit's made me better
And I promise I can get through anything
No matter the weather
Baby, look what you did
Girl, I loved you, you could've had my kids
You thought you would be the one
But, girl, I thought you was wrong
When you did what you did
You thought you was clever
But girl, your shit could've been better, baby

[Chorus]
And I want you to know that I don't really hate you
See, the truth is
The truth
You know the truth is, baby
I wish we was still cool
I wish we was still cool, baby
But now, I got to wish you well
Girl, you was wrong as hell
