Devin Sinha - Girl I Once Knew Lyrics

See mercy shining in the cold light
Comin' down out of the rain
See all them demons you been draggin' down
My life the lock, my love your chains

Some folks are out to save their own skin
Others will give you the best of them
I had the best of intentions with you
You went from a dream to a curse to a girl I once knew

See I was eyein' for the long road
And you were running hard and fast
I saw the future, she looked a lot like you
But you were longing for the past

The wheel is in spin, the die has been cast
Your bag's by the door so there's nothing I'd ask
The cage door is open and it's time that you flew
You went from a dream to a curse to a girl I once knew

See mercy shining in the cold light
Comin' down beneath your dreams
See all the doubts that you've been beatin' back
By now we both know what it means

You don't have to speak, I know the look in your eyes
In the end I was just your consolation prize
I've got a lantern, some nights still burns for you
You went from a dream to a curse to a girl I once knew
You went from a dream to a curse to a girl I once knew
