Hanna Star - Monster

I saw you today, but you looked away like something had changed.
We met at the hill. The air was as still as the patient in pain.
The girl who had it all had nothing at all except a knife in her hands and a sharp pair
Of claws, she stuck in my back. Well who'd have guessed that.

Can't sleep or eat for days. My memory is frayed by visions of forgetting you.
Guess I was just a ruse that should've read the clues instead of looking up to you,
Cause it was just a game. The winner reaps the shame. The loser loses everything
But chose to play along. Knowing you were wrong doesn't mean a thing to me.

It started to break, the ice on the lake, the surface of my heart and soul.
The winter it came. The shorter the day, the sharper it fades.
The tables had turned. The gnawing it burned the inside of me to a crisp in return.
I look back to you. What do you see? The monster you freed was the me you let bleed.

Can't sleep or eat for days. My memory is frayed by visions of forgetting you.
Guess I could play the part with such a fragile heart that's oh so very fond of you.
We made a pact in blood, but then it washed away, a tear to inundate.
I see you everyday just in a different way. The only one I hate is me.

Don't leave me. Leave me. Drain the monster deceived me.
Don't believe me. Leave me. Drain the monster that feeds me.
Don't see me. See me. Take back the monster that grieves me.
Don't leave me. Leave me. Take back the monster you gave me.

Can't sleep or eat for days. My memory is frayed by visions of forgetting you.
Guess I could play the part with such a fragile heart that's oh so very fond of you.
We made a pact in blood, but then it washed away, a tear to inundate.
I see you everyday just in a different way. The only one I hate is me.
