After midnight
He is all alone
Watching incandescent pictures
In a lonely home

And though he was quite smart
The Devil played his part
And nothing ever works out like he plans, so he says

Could have done better but I know I did right by you
Should've known better but I've always been a lovesick fool
But it was never meant to be
No me and you no, there's just me
Could have done better but I know I did right by you

3am now
In an empty hall
Furtive phantom notes of music
Ancient casting calls
And though she was quite fair

(Such a pretty girl)
The Devil took his share
(Like he always do)
Twirling round she's screaming to herself
And she says

Could have done better but I know I did right by you
Should've known better but I've always been a lovesick fool
But it was never meant to be
No me and you no, there's just me
Could have done better but I know I did right by you

But it was never meant to be
No me and you no, there's just me
Could have done better but I know I did right by you
Could have done better but I know I did right by you
Could have done better but I know I did right by you
