[Intro] Somebody said your name too soft. Somebody laughed too late. Now there’s a chair in my head where a liar sits and waits. --- [Verse 1] Backstage light got a sick green glow, makeup cracked where the truth might show. I'm right here... You came in calm with your coat half wet, phone face down like a quiet threat. It wasn't like that... I saw one smile in the corner move, one hand drop when I crossed the room. Look at me... Nothing happened. That’s what hurt. Nothing happened... Nothing got teeth when it hides in a word. He said, "Brother, I'm only saying," voice like silk on a blade he's laying. Said he heard things, said he hates to speak, then he fed me crumbs for a whole damn week. Don't believe him... Now I watch your eyes when the music stops, watch your glass, watch your purse, watch the lock. Please trust me... I used to know you by breath and skin, now a green room monster keeps walking in. --- [Chorus] Green room monster, don't look at me. Look at me... You got my love on a short leash. Let it breathe... I hear one whisper, then I can't sleep. Come back to me... Green room monster, don't look like me. --- [Verse 2] You left your scarf on a velvet chair, small red thread in the hallway air. You still held it... I held it up like a guilty thing, like cloth could talk, like a ring could sing. It couldn't... He said, "Easy, don't lose your head," then smiled at the bruise where the rumor spread. He lied... Every kind word turned counterfeit, every kiss had a question stitched in it. Every kiss was real... I checked the mirror, but it checked back first, jaw locked tight and my pulse gone worse. I saw you breaking... I made a courtroom out of our bed, put a witness stand where your pillow slept. Our home... You said my name like I still was home, but I heard his voice in the undertone. Only yours... That's how poison learns the blood— it borrows love, then calls it judgment. --- [Chorus] Green room monster, don't look at me. Look at me... You got my love on a short leash. Set it free... I hear one whisper, then I can't sleep. Wake up... Green room monster, don't look like me. --- [Bridge] What if I'm wrong? Then believe me... What if I'm right? Then hold me... What if the room just loves a knife? Don't let it cut... What if the proof was never proof? Trust your heart... [Male] What if I killed the part that knew you? I'm still here... --- [Final Chorus] Green room monster, don't look at me. Look at me... You got my love on a short leash. I'm still yours... I heard one whisper, then I couldn't sleep. I never left... Green room monster, now you look like me. --- [Outro] The stage went quiet. The glass stayed full. I stayed too... I broke the heart I tried to rule. But I still loved you...
