THE DEVIL NEVER CHASED ME (OFFICIAL MUSIC)

THE DEVIL NEVER CHASED ME A song about fear, self-sabotage, memories, and the demons we carry inside ourselves. Sometimes the devil doesn't need to chase you. Sometimes... you open the door. LYRICS I thought I heard him coming Footsteps underneath my bed I thought the devil wanted me But he was already in my head He never had to chase me He never had to run He watched me fight my demons Until I became one He learned all of my weaknesses He memorized my scars And every time I looked for him I found him in the dark He knew the words that hurt me He knew where I would break He never had to touch me I gave him everything to take The devil never chased me I opened up the door He whispered through my weaknesses And made me hate myself some more The devil never broke me I was already falling He never had to drag me down I was the one who kept on crawling He came disguised as memories As faces I still miss As every unanswered question And every stolen kiss He lived inside the silence Between the words I said And every time I told myself “I’m better off dead” He wasn't standing over me With fire in his eyes He sounded just like my own voice Every single fucking night “You're not enough.” “You never were.” “You'll lose them all.” “You deserve the hurt.” And I believed him... The devil never chased me I opened up the door He whispered through my weaknesses And made me hate myself some more The devil never broke me I was already falling He never had to drag me down I was the one who kept on crawling Maybe that's the cruelest part... He never needed chains. He never needed fire. He never needed hell. He only needed my fear. I carried him inside me And called it being strong. I fed him every failure. I gave him every wound. And every time I blamed myself... He fucking smiled. YOU NEVER HAD TO BREAK ME! I WAS ALREADY BROKEN! YOU NEVER HAD TO HUNT ME! I BROUGHT MYSELF TO YOU! YOU NEVER HAD TO DRAG ME TO HELL! I BUILT THE FUCKING ROAD! I... OPENED... THE... DOOR! The devil never chased me He was waiting in my head Every word I couldn't say Every tear I never shed The devil never owned me But I gave him what he needed And the hardest truth I ever faced... Was knowing I believed it. He never caught me. I stopped running. And when I finally turned around... There was no devil.
