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

This song carries a very strong meaning and i think it should be heard by everyone. It's an eye opener to toxicity and abuse in relationships, and personally I can say it helped me realize that as much as we love someone, sometimes we have to let that person go, for our own good. I hope this song saves lives and helps people out there who are suffering from abusive relationships, often without being aware of it. To Alec, thank you for sharing this song with us, it's much more than a song!

This song helped me let go of my ex who broke up with me. She was narcissistic and blamed everything on me. Made me believe I was absive and made me question everything I had done to try and figure out how I had hurt her when all I did was give her my love. She blamed me for my past trauma, saying I was too inesure when she never even texted me. (and we were long distance so her not texting me meant I didn't ever hear from her). She texted me 2 months after she broke up with me and told me she broke up with me because she was questioning her sexuality, but she still claims to be lesbian, so I have no idea. Idk why she broke up with me, idk what I ever did to her for her to be so cold towards me. But this song, it helped me to let her go. She said maybe in the future we could try again, but after listening to this song on repeat and talking to my friends, I know it's best for me to not go back, no matter how much I miss her.

But this dance, it's beautiful, it shows the story and meaning in the song. The abuse, the hurt, the pain, the love. These dancers are amazing at what they do and what they show through this song is mesmerizing. Bravo to you and the dancers!

As a dv survivor/unaliving attempt survivor that resulted in 🧠 surgery, fibro, ptsd, backwards neck alignment & homelessness. Don't wait until it's too late. If I left at the first intuition..it would have changed my entire life. We lost all belongings, my health, the ability to have children, and the chance at a life where I can dance, jump on a trampoline with my kids, or have 1 day without excruciating pain. Life will never be the same for me. If you needed a sign..let this be it. You can do it. I wanted to be a dancer... this video brought me to tears. 💜

I'm still in school, I'm just a teen, I know for a fact I didn't deserve what he did to me, I am so thankful to Alec for this song, I believe I have been listening to his music for more than a year now and it really saved me from everything. If I could do one thing in the world it would be to give him a big hug. Thank you so much!

The dancers display this so well. The female shows signs of fear, sadness, and reluctance. Perfect for a victim. While the male shows no emotion, cold, lustful, harsh. It's absolutely amazing to watch, it sparks fear into the person watching. Along with raising awareness. Hats off to these two dancers and Alec.

I was abused by three men. Each differently. Never thought I would find a guy that would love me and not hurt me. I got married September 2022 and I always fear it'll happen again because I'm not an easy person to love. But he knows my past and history and doesn't do anything to hurt me. I love this song and dance.

The choreography of this video is so mesmerizing and beautifully done, it captures the image of the song "Devil doesn't bargain" so excellently. I truly wish I could see Alec Benjamin in concert, however I cant take myself (Im between the ages 12-15) and things are too expensive to go anywhere exept Iowa :( but I would so love to go. Ive been a fan of Alec Benjamin for a year now, know most of his songs and love them all ♡ I would consider myself to be pretty lucky and crazy fortunate to be able to attend one(a concert). Alec benjamin is a man that will never seize to impress me and help me (and many many others) throughout hardships. I am so greatful for everything he does, so thank you Mr. Alec Benjamin.♡

It's revelatory. It's relatable. It's everything. Thank you Alec Benjamin for this. I've already got it on repeat ever since 💯💯💯

This is amazing! I could feel the connection between the dance and the song's meaning. This is my interpretation: The girl is being abused in her relationship and trying to change the guy but failing. She ultimately tries to run away but finds herself trapped with the guy. Each time she is able to run away from the guy she feels like they can try again and that she can change the guy, but she finds herself in the same situation as before.
