Even the devil would cry

FIRST SOLO]
I still hold you close
While you keep pushing me away,
I keep calling it love
When it feels like I'm the one who pays.
I know every shade of your silence,
Every look that says you don't care,
And I keep standing beside you
While you're breaking me right there.
How many times can you hurt me
And never once feel sorry?
How many tears have to fall
Before my pain becomes a story?
I keep searching for the person
Who once made me feel safe,
But every time I find a little hope,
You take another piece away.
And sometimes I look at you
And I can't believe what I see...
Is this really the person I love?
Or is this just a nightmare wearing your face?
[CHORUS]
You can even make the devil cry,
With the way you hurt my heart.
You can look me in the eyes
While you're tearing me apart.
Where is your mercy?
Where did your kindness go?
I'm holding you like I'm afraid to lose you,
While you're teaching me to let you go.
You can even make the devil cry,
And somehow I'm still here.
Still hoping for an apology
That never seems to appear.
Tell me, how can you hurt somebody
Who only wanted to love you?
How can you watch my heart fall apart
And act like you never knew?
[SECOND SOLO]
Isn't it a little unreal
To think you'd really be like this?
The same person I trusted
Could become the reason I feel like this?
I remember your gentle words,
The promises you used to make.
Now I measure every sentence
By how much pain it might create.
And I hate that I still care.
I hate that I still wait.
I hate that some small part of me
Still believes you might change.
I keep defending you in my mind:
“Maybe he's tired... maybe he's hurting...”
But how many excuses can I make
Before I admit that I'm hurting too?
You don't see the nights I spend
Trying to put my heart together.
You don't hear the questions in my head:
“Was I ever enough for him?”
And the cruelest part is this—
I don't want revenge.
I don't want to see you suffer.
I just wanted you to notice
That you were hurting someone who loved you.
[FINAL CHORUS]
You can even make the devil cry,
With the way you hurt my heart.
You can turn the sweetest memories
Into reasons to fall apart.
Where is your mercy?
Why don't you see my tears?
I've been holding you so tightly
While you've been disappearing for years.
You can even make the devil cry,
But I'm still calling your name.
Still wishing the person I loved
Would come back and be the same.
Isn't it a little unreal
That you could really become this cold?
That the hands I wanted to hold
Could be the hands that let me go?
I loved you with everything I had,
And maybe that's what hurts the most—
I was trying so hard to keep us alive
While you were already letting us go.
So if my silence comes someday,
Please don't call it hate.
It's just a heart that's finally tired
Of begging love to stay.
And if you ever remember me,
Remember this truth somehow:
I never asked you to be perfect.
I only asked you to have mercy
On the heart that loved you.
