Devils Don't Fly

I heard the angels call again
I threw myself a party, Chardonnay and Oxy
I stopped the screams inside my head
I remember when you had me floating high like Sid & Nancy

They say it's not the answer
But I can't carry on
Cause I got nowhere, no one
Without you, boy, I'm done
And when I'm gone, remember you're the one
And just because I fight, don't mean that I never learned how to love

You know, devils don't fly
So don't expect me not to fall
Devils don't fly
But God, we almost had it all
But I got chains, and you got wings
You know that life ain't fair sometimes
Devils don't fly, but I try

What's a girl to do when she's not strong?
When everyone that holds my hand
Gets cut from all the thorns?
I used to put my ear against the wall
To hear the screams, to hear the fall, more reasons to escape it all

And it's not the answer, but I can't carry on
I give my best smile, my last dime
But I always get it wrong
It's not because I'm young, or from a broken home
Maybe I just fight 'cause I don't know where I belong

You know, devils don't fly
So don't expect me not to fall
Devils don't fly
But God, we almost had it all
But I got chains, and you got wings
You know that life ain't fair sometimes
Devils don't fly, but I try

Angels were never meant to fall
And you were the loveliest of all
If I though I could fix this, I'd pray for your forgiveness
But I've been cast off, thrown out, and I've crossed to the other side
No, devils don't fly

You know, devils don't fly
So don't expect me not to fall
Devils don't fly
But God, we almost had it all
But I got chains, and you got wings
You know that life ain't fair sometimes
Devils don't fly, but I try

But I try
