## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

So sweet 'til you turn around

Double faces, both are fightin' for the power now

Try to burn bridges to break me down

But my heart is so on fire

Couldn't smoke me out

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Tattooed my name on your heart

Then pushed me outta your car

'Cos I'm screaming out my livid lungs

And I could leave you again

But I'd be dreaming of when

I taste apologies right off your tongue

**[Chorus]**

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, just for me?

Stop off on your way to hell and give me what I need

'Cos you're the devil that I crave

What's love without some hate?

What's pleasure minus pain? ah-ah

(ah-ah)

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, just for me?

**[Verse 2]**

If ya told me, "Jump right off the ledge"

I would

Follow you until the bitter end

For good

Guess that you got reckless

Turned obsessive when I get possessive back

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Throw all your shit on the street

It feels so good to get mean

'Cos you love it when my head is hot

2 hours later, we're great

And you'll be kissing my face

Saying "Love don't come without a cost"

**[Chorus]**

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, just for me?

Stop off on your way to hell and give me what I need

'Cos you're the devil that I crave

What's love without some hate?

What's pleasure minus pain? ah-ah

(ah-ah)

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, just for me?

**[Outro]**

It's so intoxicating when you disregard your health

And forgo your safety net

If I had the chance, I'd do it all again

Tried to stack up all my sense for him

Painted all the red flags white

Love him 'til I lose my mind

Oh, it hurt when you fell from heaven

It'll hurt worse when you leave
