There was a bad boy in the school yard
|
Waited on you every day
|
Seemed like every time you turned around
|
Well he was standin' in your way
|
Well he broke your glasses
|
The girls all laughed
|
As he pushed you to the floor
|
But then you stood up one day knowin'
|
You couldn't stand it anymore
|
And your gentle hand was finally clenched in rage
|
You were face to face
|
Face to face with the devil that you've been dreadin'
|
Eye to eye finally has arrived
|
But bad as it was, well now brother wasn't it better
|
Dealin' with him face to face
|
Your date showed up with flowers
|
And you thought your dreams had come
|
But with every passing hour
|
You felt it come undone
|
Then the night exploded and you begged him no
|
But he forever changed your life
|
And now he waits a judge and jury
|
Thinkin' you'll break down inside
|
And with a finger you can put his fists away
|
And you're face to face
|
Face to face with the devil that you've been dreadin'
|
Eye to eye finally has arrived
|
But bad as it was, well little sister wasn't it better
|
Dealin' with him face to face
|
'Cause it'll never go away
|
Until the fear that you are runnin' from is finally embraced
|
Drivin' by the grave yard
|
On a wicked winter's eve
|
And you're wonderin' why a man of faith
|
Is whistlin' nervously
|
Then you stop the car
|
And you hold your heart
|
'Cause you finally realize
|
Hell, the devil ain't in the darkness
|
He's a'rattlin' 'round inside
|
And with folded hands you truly start to pray
|
And you're face to face
|
Face to face with the devil that you've been dreadin'
|
Eye to eye finally has arrived
|
But bad as it was, well now brother wasn't it better
|
Dealin' with him face to face
|
'Cause it'll never go away
|
Until the fear that you are runnin' from is finally embraced
|
Face to face
|
