[Intro] (spoken bitterly) He said, “Trust me.” That was my first mistake. [Verse 1] You said you saw a future in the songs I write Said you knew some people, you could change my life Had a silver promise in the words you chose But something in your smile felt a little too close [Pre-Chorus] You said, “trust me, kid, I know the way” But every door you opened had a price to pay [Chorus] 'Cause the Devil doesn't bargain — he just takes what he wants Acts like he's entitled no matter the cost He don't care if you beg he likes the sound of it You can say pretty please get down on your knees But the bottom line is — …the Devil doesn't bargain [Verse 2] You said I'd be famous if I played it right Just sign right here, don't read the fine lines Said I'd thank you later when the lights got bright But you never said how much of me you'd take that night [Pre-Chorus] You said this is just how the game is played But every little favor was another chain [Chorus] 'Cause the Devil doesn't bargain — he just takes what he wants Acts like he's entitled no matter the cost He don't care if you beg he likes the sound of it You can say pretty please get down on your knees But the bottom line is — …the Devil doesn't bargain [Bridge] Funny how a savior starts to look like a thief When the dream you were selling starts selling pieces of me Guess some deals were never meant to be fair [Final Chorus] 'Cause the Devil doesn't bargain — he just takes what he wants Acts like he's entitled no matter the cost He don't care if you beg he likes the sound of it You can say pretty please get down on your knees But the bottom line is — …the Devil doesn't bargain
