Lyrics

You don't respect me, you just roll over
And how your eyes burn through
You are treacherous, you're a love hangover
And I'm entwined in you

So just let me fish you out
The water's claiming you
And I'm forsaking all my doubts
So don't act like you came through

Cuz you're an angel in my arms
And a devil to my heart
An angel in my arms
And a devil to my heart

Were you speaking about your love eternal?
Cuz' honey I don't believe
Because a minefield looks so lovely
When it wraps itself in dreams

So you cut me with razor kisses
And flowers in your hands
It's insulting to be the one
That's trying to understand

Why you're an angel in my arms
And a devil to my heart
An angel in my arms
And a devil to my heart

So I'm leaving with my bones around me
A skeletal review
I'm punch drunk and I feel so lousy
And I wonder what made you

Leave me all alone
With nothing left to lose
When it was your turn to fish me out
Well you just could not choose

Between the angel in my arms
And the devil to my heart
Between the angel in my arms
And the devil to my heart

Between the angel in my arms
And the devil to my heart
Between the angel in my arms
And the devil to my heart
