[Intro]
I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
You’re the only one who brings out the demon

[Verse 1]
Like pills you make me righteous
Like I can rise above it all
Like pills you leave me lifeless
Shaken in a bathroom stall

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you wanna do this
Don’t wanna see you in my phone
Leave me alone

[Chorus]
I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
You are the only one who brings out the demon
You bring it out, you bring it out

[Verse 2]
Like pills you grab a hold of me
One hit just makes me want you more
Until we’re in a motel room
Locked up behind closed doors

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you wanna do this
Don’t wanna see you in my phone
Leave me alone

[Chorus]
I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
You are the only one who brings out the demon
You bring it out, you bring it out

[Bridge]
You’re doing it now, you’re doing it now, you’re doing it now
It used to be you brought out the best in me
Now it seems you bring out the beast in me

[Chorus]
I know how you’re operating
Only come around when you know that I need it
Cut out my heart and you leave me bleeding
You are the only one who brings out the demon

[Outro]
You bring it out (You bring it out)
You bring it out (You bring it out)
You bring it out (You bring it out)
You bring it out (You bring it out)

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
