    Lyrics:
    The devil doesn't bargain
    It's useless, don't do this
    It's hubris to try
    He's ruthless, you knew this
    I told you, didn't I?
    He's abusive, elusive
    The truth is, he lies
    I know you don't want to let go
    And just like before
    I can see that you're sure
    You can change him but I know you won't
    The devil doesn't bargain
    He'll only break your heart again
    It isn't worth it, darling
    He's never gonna change
    He'll never be Prince Charming
    He'll only do you harm again
    I don't mean to meddle
    But the devil doesn't settle
    No, the devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    I'm not one to lecture
    Talk down to a friend
    I don't mean to pressure
    Mean to condescend
    But I just want what's best for
    You in the end
    I know you don't want to let go
    And just like before
    I can see that you're sure
    You can change him but I know you won't
    The devil doesn't bargain
    He'll only break your heart again
    It isn't worth it, darling
    He's never gonna change
    He'll never be Prince Charming
    He'll only do you harm again
    I don't mean to meddle
    But the devil doesn't settle
    No, the devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    And I know you think
    He'll change this time
    But I think that you will find
    The devil doesn't bargain
    He'll only break your heart again
    It isn't worth it, darling
    He's never gonna change
    He'll never be Prince Charming
    He'll only do you harm again
    I don't mean to meddle
    But the devil doesn't settle
    No, the devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm

    Alec’s songs are always so well written, I mean all the lyrics are deep, personal, relatable and having relatable music like this is such a beautiful thing !! Not every song is like that.. personally I relate to a lot of his songs even if I haven’t really lived the same things, I always manage to imagine the lyrics with my loved ones and it’s a beautiful experience (even if sometimes it’s a bit sad)!…..
    thank you Alec for writing these master pieces !! ❤️

    I was in Munich and met you there, it's unbelievable how you were so humble and kind!! I have no words to describe how much happy I was! I've been your fan since 4 years and I listened to your music, while I was in so many different moods and feelings. YOU were, are and will always be my favorite singer in this world Alec. I love you endlessly and always support you and I wish you all the best and happiness in your life. See you very soon the next time in Germany.
    Best regards from me (Mina) ❤️.

    I feel like his songs are the kind that you can jam out to in your car, cry to, smile to, or even fall asleep to and those are definitely the best kind of songs that could exist

    My gosh...
    I discovered your songs when you had like... 200 k subs or so.
    I remember it was "Knife in my back" which I heard first. Later then I really REALLY fell in love with "Pretending". Sooner or later there were more songs to appreciate. "The wolf and the sheep", "paper crown" and "1994".
    I don't know if you remember the song called "Together we'll fall" but recently I've been singing it in my vocal classes. My teacher was under the great Impression. He said this lyrics had a very deep meaning.
    Your concert in Warsaw on Thursday... Was a dream come true since I am your fan for nearly 5 years. I was IN TEARS when I saw you on that stage. I soon ran out of tissues haha😅
    Seeing you now, with thousands of fans, nearly 5mln of subs, three albums and a tour...
    I hope you know how glad I am that you exist. Like omg... SO SO GLAD.
    Sending lots of hugs

    The best thing about Alec’s music isn’t the way it sounds it’s the stories that he tells through them. Every lyric is so meaningful and relatable even. Not only is his voice amazing but a lot of people get to relate to his lyrics in such a deep way. Alec I hope you continue to write music for a long time because everything you write is perfect.🧡

I have been with Alec pretty much when he started, and his songs just hold a part of my heart. Great job, you have done so good! I’m in love with this song and I’m so proud of you!

    A while later I discovered Let me down slowly, Water Fountain, Jesus in LA, Mind is a Prison, Nancy got a Haircut... Now I'm one of your biggest fans and seeing how much you've grown fills my heart with Joy😍 I know most of your songs and I hope to someday come to one of your concerts!
