    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-mm-mm-mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm-mm-mm-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-mm-mm-mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm-mm-mm-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-mm-mm-mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm-mm-mm-mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm-mm-mm-mm
    Devil doesn't bargain
    Mm-mm-mm-mm

    This feels as if someone is telling me to move on from a toxic person and it’s as if it’s a warning to just let them go because they will just break your heart again.

    I finally quit alcohol and cigarettes the day I finally understood that the devil doesn’t bargain- there’s no just a little bit with the devil, it’s all or nothing and that “all” is death and distraction. I’ve been sober for a year and three months now. I give God the glory. ❤

Blah blah blah, But Alec Just Has a way of putting things out there in a way that makes people see what he's saying and see things that need to be seen in a way that he enjoys!

    This just made my day. I heard the song a few days ago from one of my roommates and it hit completely different. I shazamed it immediately and here we are. Alec Benjamin is phenomenal. I've never heard songs from him before but now that I have I'm loving what I'm hearing. For someone who's had to face and battle with problems, anxieties and most especially depression this hits hard. It has a deeper meaning behind it. This is one of my favourites. Definitely going to be on my playlist. Please don't pass by without liking this comment so I can come back and listen to this masterpiece. Totally a classic.

    Holy crap. I knew you were a wholesome artist from "If We Have Each Other" but oh my gosh. I had no idea. This is absolutely incredible. Echoes everything I went through when I had anorexia a few years ago. I thought I could keep my "little friend" around and be alright, but I eventually learned that you can't be whole if you sell your soul. Absolutely amazing man! Prayers for you

    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
    The 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
    The 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
    The devil doesn't bargain
    Mm
    The devil doesn't bargain
    Mm

    I love that many musics are not just for entertainment and for teaching people lessons, and to whoever has been in a bad situation can listen to music which supports them and really just makes people feel comfortable again. That Is one of the reasons that I love music, because even though sometimes or many times I'm not in the situation it represents, I still love the comfort that some of them give with supportive or kind messages. The melody also is a really important feature for people to feel comfortable listening to music. After saying all of this, I gotta say this music fits this description really well. Of course some other songs also do but I gotta give this one some congratulations, cause it is fire🔥 and still teaches us a lesson

    This song hits home 12 plus years and he hasn't changed I've given him a hundred times to treat me better but I get nothing.
    I've had enough of crying and blaming myself for his behaviour I'm done being the one left hurt and alone, I am going to be the one to change because this woman is done being even 2nd best, I'm done with his mean words I'm done of losing weight or putting it on to suit is needs. He's fucked my head up he's hurt me more than he can ever imagine or even care to realize, the damage he has done. Bye my lover goodbye his demons for I am done being your game, for once maybe you will cry when I leave but by then it will be too late to ask for my forgiveness as you have had to many from me.
