Poison - The Devil Inside lyrics

And for a while things seem all right

And for a moment he hides

the devil that lies inside

And then one night in a fit of rage

The demon raises his hand in hate

And brings it down on you

There is nothing you can do

And then one night in a twist of fate

The angels bring your face to me

I cannot erase the memories

Of you lying there looking up at me

Chorus

Please take the demon from my head

Won't you please erase the memories

And ghosts who haunt my bed

I just want you to understand

That I'm gonna be the only man

To ever touch your soul

And I ain't never letting go

There's a room that lies down the hall

Where you sit and write you poems

of love and mystery

of faith and fantasy

And you keep a secret lover there

And a book beside an easy chair

That you read before you go to bed

To hide the memories in your head

And now I try to understand the pain

You struggle for the words to say

It don't come out right

As you lay your body down

Chorus

There's a place where you go

I've been, I'll never know

The pain you keep inside

The secrets that you hide

But I try to understand your pain

And be a shelter from the falling rain

Just maybe I feel what you're going through

Maybe I have been there too

Please take the demons from my head

Won't you please take the demons from my head

(I shall try)

repeat
