[Verse 1]
There was a light on in my chest
A half open door I called my best
Your voice like smoke out in the cold
A few soft words I turned to gold
I made you a harbor, made you a hymn
Stayed through the silence when hope wore thin
Read every pause like a sacred sign
Till the cards told me what was mine
[Chorus]
I drew the Devil card tonight
Turned it over in the candlelight
And the chain I called fate
Was just pain I held too tight
I drew the Devil card and knew
What was false and what was true
And the spell broke free
When I let go of me and you
[Verse 2]
There were songs in the floorboards
Ash in the air
Your ghost in my memories
But you were never there
I called it a lesson
I called it a sign
But some roads run crooked
No matter how kind
[Chorus]
I drew the Devil card tonight
Turned it over in the candlelight
And the chain I called love
Was just longing in disguise
I drew the Devil card and knew
What was false and what was true
And the spell broke free
When I let go of me and you
[Bridge]
Not every fire is a beacon
Not every thread is gold
Not every door left half open
Is a place that I can call home
Maybe truth is not a promise
Maybe truth is letting go
Maybe all I ever needed
Was to see what I called hope
[Final Chorus]
I drew the Devil card tonight
Black ink burning in the firelight
And the thing that kept my name
Let go by dawn's first light
I drew the Devil card and knew
What was false and what was true
And the spell broke free
When I let go of me and you
[Outro]
I drew the Devil card
The room went still
And what did not love me
Never will
