    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

    woah... same lyrics, same impact but the acoustic background makes it more nostalgic like, two similar stories approached in different ways or, heck, even the same story being remembered differently. One thing I will always love about your songs is the way you tell stories and portray messages, the composition of everything.... Mega saludos desde Mexico (Greetings from Mexico) your beautiful stories and melodies got all the way here

    As someone who plays piano & guitar, whenever an acoustic version of a song i love is dropped I go crazy. It's a lot easier to play along with the song when your instrument accurately blends in and doesn't fight the original melody. Now I just need an acoustic guitar version if* there isn't already one :D
