The Beautiful & Damned lyrics
Ever seen a devil with a haloEver seen an angel with some hornsEverybody got their own demons (yeah)Everybody fightin’ their own war (uh), oh oh
When you move this fast as I’m movin’All the toxic things that I’m usingAll the substances I’m abusin’All the sex, and the drugs, and the boozin’The decision is mine for the choosin’But I can’t understand what I’m losin’‘Cause I been this way, it’s not a new thingI know a Gemini can be confusingSplit right down the middle like there’s two of meNo hiding, I bare all nudityThis is everything that comes with celebrityCriticism, ridicule and it’s suitin’ meThink about what I spent on some jewelryBut it all comes back to me usuallyAnd it’s none of y’alls business truthfullyYou don’t know ’bout the fame, what it do to meI’m talking to myself like every nightYou could try to be a better guyBut to understand a GeminiAngel, devil, it’s both him and IDemons in me they just multiplyIf I don’t kill ’em all, I never tryLife is short, and men lie, women lieBut a legend he could never die
Ever seen a devil with a halo (uh)
Ever seen an angel with some horns (you know)Everybody got their own demonsEverybody fightin’ their own war (uh)I can be an angel sometimesI can be real fucked upI miss you only sometimesI give you real tough love‘Cause I’m a devil with a halo, ooh oh, oh oh(Yeah) oh oh
Put the hours in, put the work inSwear I try so hard to be perfectBut sometimes shit feels like a burden‘Cause I still ain’t shit but a personSwitch lanes in the Porsche that I’m swervin’Tell myself slow down off the bourbonWhen you drive like that, it made me nervousNot tonight, not closing the curtainsWhen I die, not trying to see hellFeel like I’m headed that way in a V12And I just broke up with my femaleOn tour, had to do it by emailBut that’s all I’ma save you the detailTherapy with a beat and a freestyleEither way, live today, I’ma be well‘Cause I never wanna let ’em see me failI’m talkin’ to myself: What’s wrong with you?You should make some songs to turn up toThinkin’ too much like you usually do‘Til you drink some liquor, then you’re coolThrow your brain away, that’s all it takesDumb it down, but that’s not what he makesThen say fuck the sales, fuck the ‘bizIt’s not that easy Gerald, nothing is
Ever seen a devil with a halo (yeah)
Ever seen an angel with some horns (you know)Everybody got their own demonsEverybody fightin’ their own war (uh)I can be an angel sometimesI can be real fucked upI miss you only sometimesI give you real tough love (yeah)‘Cause I’m a devil with a halo, ooh oh, oh oh, oh oh
