[Verse] You said my hands felt safe in yours Like I was something worth fighting for Your eyes don't flinch, you don't pull away Even when I don't know what to say You talk like I'm already redeemed Like I'm not the things I've seen Like love can wash the blood I hide Like there's nothing buried deep inside [Pre-Chorus] You don't see the cracks beneath my skin You don't know the war I keep within [Chorus] What if I'm a monster What if I'm the truth you fear What if every promise Breaks the moment you're too near What if I'm the darkness I've tried so hard to bury What if loving me Is something you won't carry You say you trust me But you don't know the cost, or Would you still stay If I'm a monster [Post-Chorus] Don't come closer Don't look deeper [Verse 2] You lean your head against my chest Like you've already chosen this Like I won't ever let you fall Like I'm not dangerous at all Your fingers trace the scars I hide You don't ask how they got inside You just whisper I'm enough But you don't know that tears me up [Pre-Chorus] I should step back, I should walk away But I'm too weak when you say my name [Chorus] What if I'm a monster What if I'm the truth you fear What if every promise Breaks the moment you're too near What if I'm the darkness I've tried so hard to bury What if loving me Is something you won't carry You say you trust me But you don't know the cost, or Would you still stay If I'm a monster [Post-Chorus] Don't come closer You'll see everything [Verse 3] You said you'd follow anywhere Even into my despair You don't hesitate, you don't pretend You already call me more than friend And that's the part that terrifies The way you look at me like light Because if you see what I became You might never say my name [Pre-Chorus] I'm trying to warn you before you fall But I don't wanna lose you at all [Chorus] What if I'm a monster What if I tear this apart What if I'm the danger Standing inches from your heart What if I'm the shadow Following your every step What if I'm the secret You'll eventually regret You say you trust me But I'm already lost, or Would you still stay If I'm a monster [Bridge] You lift my chin, you don't look scared Like you've already answered there Your voice is quiet, steady, slow You say, "I see you, and I know" But you don't know You don't know [Breakdown] I tried to push you, you wouldn't move I tried to hide, you saw right through I built these walls to keep you safe But you just stepped into the space I don't wear the halo that you see I'm everything you shouldn't need But when you say you trust in me It's harder just to let you leave [Chorus] What if I'm a monster What if it's already true What if the worst thing Is how much I want you What if I destroy The only thing that's pure What if your love Is something I don't deserve You say you trust me And I'm trying to stop you But I can't run Because I want you Even if I'm a monster [Outro] If I break you, I warned you first If I love you, it might be worse But you're still here, standing stronger Holding the hand of a monster
