The Devil's Friends

from I Can Sincerely Say I've Tried by Jake Gussman

lyrics

[Intro]
Better days they come and pass. We’ll have to work to make them last
It’s worth it all if you’ll smile just once more

[Verse 1]
The devils friends take turns to beat
Her up until she cannot sleep
She smiles she smiles he’s gone away
The pain comes back another day

She asks her god “is this the end”
“Should I pack up and leave my friends?”
He says the end you’ve yet to meet
‘Cause it’s yourself you can’t defeat

[Refrain]
Is it time that we leave this all behind?
Don’t worry darling; another day comes after night
Forget the part of us that eats you up inside
Just remember it gets easier with time






[Verse 2]
Depression comes to hold your hand
To stab you before you can stand
Oh my darling please believe
Your faith and love I cannot see

I’ll hold you close and mend your heart
And give our love a brand new start
The day’s so long, I feel so weak
I pray the lord my soul to keep
