Devil's Playground

If you like the warmth between your fingers Then go and get yourself some matches If you like the sound of other singers Then run headfirst into the wind But don’t push me back into the corner Without my boxing gloves Cause you are starting a fight And all I want to do is love So please stay out of the playground Cause we already built our own Don’t go inside it cause you’ll let yourself be treated Just like the devil’s pawn If you like the sight of hope in your future Don’t go running with the wolves If you like the taste of a computer Then I’m gonna have to let you go But don’t push me away I wasn’t looking forward to this day You’d say Don’t come home I’m not what you were looking for There’s someone offering you much more We can’t hold hands anymore So please let me be alone I knew it was a trick and not a treat But still I had to let you go from me Cause I’ve seen what Lucifer can do to us If I keep pushing I would lose your trust If you miss me, the things that we would always share a candy wrapper in your pail my arms were home to your despair, if you miss me don’t forget how you kissed me.
