You say it makes no difference
Well it makes a difference to me
So spare me all your confidence
And your half-assed sympathy

We told them that we didn’t care
In the hopes that they would leave
To give ourselves a fighting chance
At something to believe

You used to say
“What would you rather
Hopeless happiness or misery that matters?”
If you want to know the answer
Just look into my eyes and you’ll see
The Devil and the deep blue sea

We’ve travelled life along different roads
You know we’ve shouldered different loads
So feel free to live the life you please
But I reject a life of ease

You used to say
“What would you rather
Hopeless happiness or misery that matters?”
If you want to know the answer
Just look into my eyes and you’ll see
The Devil and the deep blue sea
