lyrics

I’m sorry for what I said.
I’m sorry for what I did.
You know that I did try to hurt you
and really that’s the worst part of it.
I do not have an excuse
It just comes down to this ~

Maybe it’s a glorified
depiction of a homicide.
You think you’re using only words
Then you look into his eyes
And you’re standing on the blood that’s dried
of the others ~
Who once were Lovers
And became Monsters.
Well I’m a monster trying to be a lover.

Just like a fallen King
I’ve hidden all my golden rings.
But I refuse to melt down my crown it still means too much to me.
But I would give it all to you.
You'd know exactly what to do.
You’d likely say that this is all a big distraction
And the facts are that these things are killing me.

Chorus
Maybe I’m an amplified
confuser who’s unqualified
To behave like the normals do
But I would stop the world for you
And protect you from the worn disguise
of the others ~
Who once were lovers
And became Monsters
Well I’m a monster trying to be a lover.

Maybe it’s alright that I’m a monster..
Maybe it’s alright that I’m a monster..
Maybe it’s alright that I’m a monster..
Maybe it’s alright Maybe it’s alright Maybe it’s alright
Maybe…

Maybe it’s a glorified
depiction of a homicide.
You think you’re using only words
Then you look into his eyes
And you’re standing on the blood that’s dried
of the others
Who once were Lovers
And became Monsters.
Well I’m a Monster
Trying to be a Lover.
