I thought I’d been to hell and back
But I went one more time just to be sure
There’s more than one face on the devil
And more than one fire without any cure

I might have seen you there once or twice
We can’t get along but we like the same place
If we’re gonna’ be miserable why not together?
It’s too hard to fight then sit down to say grace

I saw both of you down there
Maybe you lost your way
Maybe I made you that way
I never belonged
Not even for a day
But I loved you once

The fire was so loud
We couldn’t hear each other
Trippin’ on our mistakes
Never knowing the weather

I know how hard love can be when it’s wrong
We made a conversation that couldn’t stay calm
It was almost as if we met window shopping
Mannequin clothes aren't in style very long

I saw myself down there
I know I lost my way
Love doesn’t act that way
I tried to belong
For more than a day
But I only loved you once
