Devil's Got My Secret Lyrics
Oh, to take sorrow and use it as a crutch
And have all you need and never know it as such
Oh, to want the warmth of fire and get the burn of its touch
I think about you way too much
The devil's got my secret
He swore he'd never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
I'll pick it up in hell
A match is struck only once, the thought's struck more than twice
Honesty's a virtue that is wavering like a vice
Yeah, it screams in two directions, yeah, it cuts like a knife
I'll think about you all my life
The devil's got my secret
He swore he'd never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
I'll pick it up in hell
I will pick it up in hell
Should I choose the one way, my life goes on
My world's not broken, my home's not gone
Oh, but should I choose the other, so sweet, and wrong
No, I'll think about you, then continue on
The devil's got my secret
He swore he'd never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
And, oh, he keeps it well
The devil's got my secret
He swore he'd never, never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
I'll pick it up in hell
I will pick it up in hell
I will pick it up in hell
And have all you need and never know it as such
Oh, to want the warmth of fire and get the burn of its touch
I think about you way too much
He swore he'd never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
I'll pick it up in hell
Honesty's a virtue that is wavering like a vice
Yeah, it screams in two directions, yeah, it cuts like a knife
I'll think about you all my life
He swore he'd never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
I'll pick it up in hell
I will pick it up in hell
My world's not broken, my home's not gone
Oh, but should I choose the other, so sweet, and wrong
No, I'll think about you, then continue on
He swore he'd never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
And, oh, he keeps it well
The devil's got my secret
He swore he'd never, never tell
I left it for safe-keeping
I'll pick it up in hell
I will pick it up in hell
I will pick it up in hell

I'm shocked that I have the privilege of being the first commenter for Mieka Pauley on here! Oh well, "first, bitches!"
This is such a romantic song...
You are the devil and I'll see you in hell, which beckons me despite the torment that may wait for me there. You are worth that much, because I care about you more than a one-time infatuation - which is but one struck match.
Art is ambiguous though :).
