Devils Don’t Fly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in black boots With a sugar smile Left a bruise on my door And a saintly style You kept saying “trust me” Like it meant your name But your hands were full of matches And your eyes were flame [Pre-Chorus] I saw the smoke On your jacket sleeve I heard the lie In the way you breathe You leaned so close Like you knew the road But I learned the hard way What the old songs told [Chorus] Devils don't fly They crawl in close Devils don't fly They take what you love Devils don't fly They haunt the sky You can call it what you want But devils don't fly [Verse 2] You kissed like thunder On a broken roof Made a silk-soft promise Then you changed the proof You left me your shadow And a paper crown Now the whole town knows What I found out [Pre-Chorus] I saw the smoke On your jacket sleeve I heard the lie In the way you breathe You leaned so close Like you knew the road But I learned the hard way What the old songs told [Chorus] Devils don't fly They crawl in close Devils don't fly They take what you love Devils don't fly They haunt the sky You can call it what you want But devils don't fly [Bridge] Let the red light burn Let the mirror crack I was made for leaving I am not looking back You can keep your halo Keep your poisoned crown I am done with heaven If it lets you down [Final Chorus] Devils don't fly They crawl in close Devils don't fly They take what you love Devils don't fly They haunt the sky You can call it what you want But devils don't fly Devils don't fly (they don't fly)
