Lyrics

[Intro]
Congratulations
So I run to You, Jesus

[Verse 1]
I got my mind made up, won’t happen twice
Losing my heart to the one that wants my life
Oh
She’s a fugitive, I saw it in her eyes
Calling out the evil shut up in my mind
Oh
She say that she wanna get me locked up
Throw a hook in and be honing my line
“Sell it to me,” said the woman I love
Some demons always looking so fine

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave her my heart but she set it all on fire
Watch it burn and smile like that
Why she gimme desire?
This temptation is too much, oh God

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna sell my soul
But girl don’t wanna let me go
Some things money cannot buy
I don’t wanna ever, ever sell my soul, oh-oh
Never ever sell my soul, oh-oh
I will never ever, ever sell my soul

[Verse 2]
It’s gonna be hard to sleep tonight
She been running up and down my mind
You know I’ve been taking pills for a while
To shut it all down for a little while, yeah
Can I be a baby back in mother’s arms
So momma sing me one those lullabies
I wish that I could shut out every other sounds, yeah
‘Cause everybody’s freaking screaming out

[Pre-Chorus]
Gave her my heart but she set it all on fire
You’re gonna watch it burn and smile like that
Oh my God, she my desire
‘Cause this temptation is too much, oh God

[Chorus]
I will never sell my soul (Never sell my soul)
Girl, I will rather let you go (I will let you go)
Some things money cannot buy
I will never ever, ever sell my soul oh
(Never sell my soul)
I will never ever, ever sell my soul, oh
(Never sell my soul)
Never ever sell my soul
(Never sell my soul)
Never ever, ever sell my soul, oh
(Never sell my soul)
Never ever, ever, ever sell my soul, oh

[Outro]
What have I become?
I run to You, Jesus
Shine Your light
I’ve questioned everything
The reasons why I make music and
The joy and happiness that it brings
The world may not understand me
But you do
And I’m glad that you do
I love you
