[Verse 1]

As quiet as it is tonight

You'd almost think you were safe

Your eyes are full of surprises

They cannot predict my fate

Waiting underneath the stars

There's something you should know

The angels, they surround my heart

Telling me to let you go


[Refrain]

I bet he couldn't

I bet he couldn't recognize

But I played right into it, who am I to criticize?

Somehow I'll get through it and you won't even realize

Falling through your own disguise


[Pre-Chorus]

It's like over and over

You're pushing me right down to the floor

I should just walk away

Over and over

I keep on coming back for more

I play into your fantasy

Now that it's over

You can lie to me right through your smile

I see behind your eyes

Now I'm sober

No more intoxicating my mind


[Chorus]

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do, I do, I do


[Verse 2]

You almost fooled yourself this time, let all of the saints be praised

You hide your sadness behind your smile and you keep your lost heart raised (Your lost heart raised)

With steps that edge along the ledge is much higher than it seems

But I've been on that ledge before

You can't hide yourself from me


[Refrain]

I bet he couldn't

I bet he couldn't recognize

I still played right into it, who am I to criticize?

Somehow I'll get through it and you won't even realize

Falling through your own disguise


[Pre-Chorus]

It's like over and over

You're pushing me right down to the floor

I should just walk away

Over and over

I keep on coming back for more

I play into your fantasy

Now that it's over

You can lie to me right through your smile

I see behind your eyes

Now I'm sober

No more intoxicating my mind


[Chorus]

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you

But I do, I do, I do


[Breakdown]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


[Pre-Chorus]

It's like over and over

You're pushing me right down to the floor

I should just walk away

Over and over

I keep on coming back for more

I play into your fantasy

Now that it's over

You can lie to me right through your smile

I see behind your eyes

Now I'm sober

No more intoxicating my mind


[Chorus / Outro]

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, you, you, you

Devil wouldn't recognize you, you, you, but, you, but, you, but

Devil wouldn't recognize you, you, you-you

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do, I-I, I do

You, you, you, you

Devil wouldn't recognize you (Recognize you, you, you)

But I do (You, you)

(You, you, you) Even the devil wouldn't recognize you (You, you)

But I-I-I-I-I do
