Monster Lyrics by Von Smith

On to Something

2014

[Verse 1]
Love can be bittersweet
A soft touch can cut so deep
Left all alone
Feelin' cold and numb
Wonderin' what went wrong
How did I end up here

[Verse 2]
Held by a thread
On the bottom rung
Crying for smiles
[?] and songs unsung
It's time to be wise
Yes, the time has come
And I will move on
But just let me say...

[Chorus]
If love is a monster
Then I have been eaten alive
And I'm going under
And there is no hope to survive
Not this time

[Verse 3]
I should apologize
My hearts not always wise
I've gone too far
Driven by the pain
No need to explain
I know that would bore you

[Verse 4]
But you should know
That I'm doing fine
Functioning well with my ducks in line
They'll never feel like their life is over
'Cause I'm their owner
And you can't touch
But...

[Chorus]
If love is a monster
Then I have been eaten alive
And I'm going under
And there is no hope to survive

[Post-Chorus]
So just turn your head
Now the monster's been fed
No more tears can be shed
Now my heart's dead
Get out of my nightmare
Begone before someone drops
A house on your toe

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe it's like they say
Just a phase
And tomorrow the world will change
I can see it now
All the flowers in bloom
And the sunshine just filling our days
With the world such a beautiful place
And the clouds don't eat up all the rays
And pain is never a price 'ya pay
And love isn't given away

[Climb]
Then the moon comes out
As time stands still
You lost yourself going in for the kill

[Chorus]
If love is a monster
Then I have been eaten alive
And I'm going under
And there is no hope to survive

[Post-Chorus]
So just turn your head
Now the monster's been fed
No more tears can be shed
Now my heart's dead
Get out of my nightmare
Begone before someone drops
A house on your toe
