Another sleepless night
She can't take much more
Broken promises
Scattered on the floor

Coffee, in silence
She looks the other way
He leaves without a word
It's just another day

It doesn't have to be like this
Lonely days and nights
It doesn't have to be like this
Always that voice in the back of your mind

The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know

Another cigarette
She gave up trying to quit
Another wasted day
There's no escape from it
It hurts her head to think, she pours another drink

It doesn't have to be like this
This ain't no kind of life
It doesn't have to be like this
Always that voice in the back of your mind

The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know

The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know

It doesn't have to be like this
It doesn't have to be like this
Silence that voice in the back of your mind

The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know

The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know

The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
The devil that you know
Is better than the devil that you don't know
