I used to park diagonal in your next-door neighbor's lawn
And walk in without a knock with a bottle and a line to cross
I used to go right down the list of all the turns that made you trip
Pick a fight with all your worst intentions
But being a danger, closed eye to caution
Only left me as a lonely hostage
Being a danger, if I'm being honest
Only made me my own second option
But I don't wanna be a sidechick to my own vices
If the devil comes knocking, I wanna be someone he won't waste his time with
A sidechick gets old, I've tried it
If the devil comes fighting, I want him to find that I'm not his alliance
So give up the working, if it's not worth the wage
I just wanna do the right thing for the first time these days
I used to love the giving, for one bite I'd give up the garden
Conviction never failed me, I just kept on failing it
Light yourself on fire with me, do you really think I'm pretty
Erase myself from my own memory, I did what I did
But being a danger, closed eye to caution
Only gave me places to get lost in
Being a danger, if I'm being honest
Only made me my own second option
But I don't wanna be a sidechick to my own vices
If the devil comes knocking, I wanna be someone he won't waste his time with
A sidechick gets old, I've tried it
If the devil comes fighting, I want him to find that I'm not his alliance
So give up the working, if it's not worth the wage
I just wanna do the right thing for the first time these days
It doesn't matter if I'm doing the same thing as you
It doesn't even out the scales, just gives the gallows one more noose
I was so hungry for that knowledge but the moment that I knew
Only made me wish I never had to learn the truth
Cause being wanted, ain't the same as being someone's
Hallelujah, cause I really don't wanna be a sidechick to my own vices
If the devil comes knocking, I wanna be someone he won't waste his time with
A sidechick gets old, I've tried it
If the devil comes fighting, I want him to find that I'm not his alliance
So give up the working, if it's not worth the wage
I just wanna do the right thing for the first time these days
