Monster - Von Smith

Love can be bittersweet

A soft touch can cut so deep

Left all alone

Feelin' cold and numb

Wonderin' what went wrong

How did I end up here

Held by a thread

On the bottom rung

Crying for smiles

and songs unsung

It’s time to be wise

Yes, the time has come

And I will move on

But just let me say…

If love is a monster

Then I have been eaten alive

And I’m going under

And there is no hope to survive

Not this time

I should apologize

My hearts not always wise

I’ve gone too far

Driven by the pain

No need to explain

I know that would bore you

But you should know

That I’m doing fine

Functioning well with my ducks in line

They’ll never feel like their life is over

'Cause I’m their owner

And you can’t touch

But…

If love is a monster

Then I have been eaten alive

And I’m going under

And there is no hope to survive

So just turn your head

Now the monster’s been fed

No more tears can be shed

Now my heart’s dead

Get out of my nightmare

Begone before someone drops

A house on your toe

Maybe I’m wrong

Maybe it’s like they say

Just a phase

And tomorrow the world will change

I can see it now

All the flowers in bloom

And the sunshine just filling our days

With the world such a beautiful place

And the clouds don’t eat up all the rays

And pain is never a price 'ya pay

And love isn’t given away

Then the moon comes out

As time stands still

You lost yourself going in for the kill

If love is a monster

Then I have been eaten alive

And I’m going under

And there is no hope to survive

So just turn your head

Now the monster’s been fed

No more tears can be shed

Now my heart’s dead

Get out of my nightmare

Begone before someone drops

A house on your toe
