Demon (Song)

Last night I came across

Someone I thought I had lost

Someone who I thought I hated

Because he hurt the one I loved

When he revealed himself to me

Though this did happen accidentally

I hesitated to tell him who I was

And in that moment I paused

I reminded myself of the joyful person I've become

Thinking, why bother to throw hate at someone

When I know it will accomplish nothing?

When I know that in the end, he was hurting.

I was a demon. I scarred him in her name

When they already wounded each other, now they will never be the same

So now all I can say is sorry, for all of the unnecessary pain

Everyone was pointing fingers, but now I am to blame

I was a demon.

As she sobbed with new cut wounds on her shoulder

I promised myself I would do anything and everything to help her

But I did not stop myself long enough

To truly assess this man's worth

I turned him away like he was trash

But now reality hits me like a flash

Screaming, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"You threw him away just like 'they' did to you!"

"Nobody has to feel this pain anymore."

"Nobody has to feel the way that you felt before."

It's time to let go of my hate, let go of my lust,

Let go of all the jealousy and finally give some genuine trust.

I was a demon. I scarred him in her name

When they already wounded each other, now they will never be the same

So now all I can say is sorry, for all of the unnecessary pain

Everyone was pointing fingers, but now I am to blame

I was a demon.

I finally let go of them. I have let go of it all

Now I can only pray I won't be the cause of their downfall

I've put it all behind me, no more unnecessary hate

Now I am trying, and succeeding to teach others the same

It is true that placed labels remain

But it will get better if you write them again

Positive intent will overrule a depressed mind

Show the world who you want to be and you will find

Over time your enemies will follow

They will admire the person who successfully defeated their sorrow

So don't mourn today, instead look forward to tomorrow

I have defeated my demons, now tell me... "Can you follow?"
