I saw a ghost floating in the night
When I looked close I could recognize, My soul
Said what are you doing, how did you get out
Shouldn't you be right beside my heart
He said it grew too dark in there
And I know that I've only ever been lucky
I know that I shouldn't focus on the pain

But there's a devil on my shoulder
There's a devil in my ear
Every night I'm growing closer
To the devil in the mirror

Well if this is that and you gave me all you could
Tell me why I never understood how to love
He said the truth's been written right there on your heart
But you've been living yourself in the dark
It's easier not to care
And I know that I've only ever been lucky
I know that I shouldn't focus on the pain

But there's a devil on my shoulder
There's a devil in my ear
Every night I'm growing closer
To the devil in the mirror
