Lyrics
The Devil's In the Details
© 2010 All Words and Music by Warren Hein
I want out it's not too late
This has been one big mistake, she said
After all it just a year
These are temporary tears, I said
By the way I want the car
We have no kids, keep your guitar, she said
No, I'm not too surprised
That woman was a little too free
Her beauty begged attention
So the fault is half on me
When the devil's in the details
Your head's stuck in the stars
Love's not some sleepy (damned) fairy tale
No matter how awake you are
When the devil's in the details
Our bodies fit so perfectly
But we were DOA right from the start
I didn't take the time to ask her needs
And she just never spoke her heart
Our love became convenient, too easy
Like something you'd pick a la carte
