Why why why can't I
Seem to hold my head up high
It must be the devil in my ear
I'm not good enough so what's the use
Self medicate and self abuse
It must be the devil in my ear

I try to push them all away
But those thoughts they stick around
Thriving on my pain
And they keep bringing me down
I pray to God for a peace of mind
For the gloom to disappear
I can't find a cause to live
With the devil in my ear

Why why why can't I
Seem to fall asleep at night
It must be the devil in my head
Depression and anxiety
I can't shake the grip that they got on me
I know the devil's gotten in my brain

I try to push them all away
But those thoughts they stick around
Thriving on my pain
And they keep bringing me down
I pray to God for a peace of mind
For the gloom to disappear
I can't find a cause to live
With the devil in my ear

Why why why can't I
Seem to hold my head up high
It must be the devil's in my ear
I don't wanna die I wanna live
But my life can't go on like this
Not another day with the devil in my ear
Not another day with the devil in my ear
Not another day with the devil in my ear
