From the recording Runaway
Lyrics
They say, the devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don’t know
Oh, but I don’t know anything anymore
They say, the devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don’t know
Oh, but I don’t know anything anymore
She was born in a place
Where every sad story had a familiar face
And the good people there forgave every wicked mistake
She was raised in a way
Where tomorrow was just another day
And you held your tongue and you learned to look away
They say, the devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don’t know
Oh, but I don’t know anything anymore
They say, the devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don’t know
Oh, but I don’t know anything anymore
She was taught to be present
Turn a blind eye straight to the heavens
And to thank her lucky stars and not complain for the blessings
But all these years later
The sum of all these parts isn’t greater
And she can see now the grass could always be greener
CHORUS
Things could be worse/Things could be better
Things could make you feel something different…
If you just endeavor
CHORUS
