I was running through the red lights calling it fate
Breaking all the rules just to feel something straight
Every little lie I told it softly like the truth
But I did it all for me and none for you
I kept dancing on the edge of what I knew was wrong
Turned the silence into noise just to play along
Funny how the heart can twist the view
Make a bad thing look suddenly brand new
I hear the devil’s voice in the back of my mind
And I keep running running trying to leave it behind
When you do the wrong things for the right reasons
You tell yourself you’re just fighting your demons
But every step keeps crossing the line
Till wrong feels right in the back of your mind
When you do the wrong things for the right reasons
You can dress it up give it different meanings
You can swear all you want you can pretend
It doesn’t make it right in the end
My heart is trying to catch up with my head
Like I’m split in two by the words I said
One side screams while the other pretends
That’s the only story that still makes sense
I built a world where the lines are all a blur
Where the pain feels clean and the guilt feels pure
But the mirror don’t lie when the night comes through
It shows me exactly what I turned into
I hear the devil’s voice in the back of my mind
And I keep running running trying to leave it behind
When you do the wrong things for the right reasons
You tell yourself you’re just fighting your demons
But every step keeps crossing the line
Till wrong feels right in the back of your mind
When you do the wrong things for the right reasons
You can dress it up give it different meanings
You can swear all you want you can pretend
It doesn’t make it right in the end
Maybe I was chasing something I couldn’t hold
Maybe I was scared of letting go
Every “almost right” just led me here
Now I’m face to face with my fear
And
I hear the devil’s voice in the back of my mind
And I keep running running trying to leave it behind
When you do the wrong things for the right reasons
You tell yourself you’re just fighting your demons
But every step keeps crossing the line
Till wrong feels right in the back of your mind
When you do the wrong things for the right reasons
You can dress it up give it different meanings
You can swear all you want you can pretend
It doesn’t make it right in the end
I was running through the red lights
Calling it fate
Now I’m standing still
Trying to change my way
