Monster Lyrics by Self Esteem

Compliments Please

2019

[Verse 1]
When I've ended up feeling like it's me with the problem
It's a birds time to flee and you find a way to stop 'em
(Could you put yourself in my place?
Say you'd live your life in this way)
Oh, I'm a martyr
And the games are no longer worth a desire to bother
I'm counting in ten but numbers were never my strong suit And I've got an idea but I can't be sure it'll please you
(Could you put yourself in my place?
It's my turn to win and dictate)
Oh, I'm a monster
Lies will show the way and I can't stop 'em

[Chorus]
Nobody can hurt me quite like you
(No one's gonna take your place
No one's ever gonna take your place, ay)
Give me half a chance, I'll hurt you too
(You live life in your way and I'll live mine my way)

[Verse 2]
Oh, and they call me their names and blame it on me forever
'Cause I asked for ten tonnes of things you can't get whenever
(When you are begging for a battle
Check to see who's making the shadows)
Oh, you get stood in
'Cause the lie was always there for you to basket
(Did you never seem to make sense
A bit of love and patience)

[Chorus]
Nobody can hurt me quite like you
(No one's gonna take your place
No one's ever gonna take your place, ay)
Give me half a chance, I'll hurt you too
(You live life in your way and I'll live mine my way)

[Bridge]
I fight on instead
And I'll stop laying in my bed
And as I let my limbs over
I'll be a woman pushing back against the world
I fight on instead
And I'll stop laying in my bed
And as I let my limbs over
I'll be a woman pushing back against the world

[Chorus]
Nobody can hurt me quite like you
(No one's gonna take your place
No one's ever gonna take your place, ay)
Give me half a chance, I'll hurt you too
(You live life in your way and I'll live mine my way)
Nobody can hurt me quite like you
(No one's gonna take your place
No one's ever gonna take your place, ay)
Give me half a chance, I'll hurt you too
(You live life in your way and I'll live mine my way)
