[Chorus: Niklas Carson]

Now I'm the one you’re hiding from

No, it ain’t easy when a monster is the one

To build you up, then break you down

No, it ain’t easy when the person that you love

Is the monster I've become, is the monster I’ve become

Is the monster I've become


[Verse 1: GAWNE]

Can you blame me for the person I became? It’s insane

Loving you was only pain 'cause, every single day

You would say that I’m not good enough to stay with

Okay, man, I get it, things ain’t never gonna change

Used to lay down in my bed and cry, looking at the sky

Father, why was I ever even put here? I just wanna die

Try to walk a mile in my shoes then come out alive

You’d be messed up, too, but I chose to follow my dreams

I got everything I wanted, they applaud all the girls

Money and fame, that I floss, but it came with a cost, kind of hard to explain

It’s like everything I’ve gained don’t make up for what I’ve lost

I spent the last ten years with a broad named music

She abused me, left bruised, beat and scarred

I don’t associate success with her name, she’s a monster

Let’s talk about the pain that she’s caused


[Chorus: Niklas Carson]

Now I'm the one you’re hiding from

No, it ain’t easy when a monster is the one

To build you up, then break you down

No, it ain’t easy when the person that you love

Is the monster I've become


[Verse 2: GAWNE]

After all is said and done, now look what I’ve become, a fugitive on the run

'Cause I’ve been hiding from the person that I fear most

They feel so near, oh, dear, she appears when I’m looking in the mirror

I’ve been searching for closure, but how we supposed to know it’s through

Between me and you, when none of it’s over?

Running in circles, going round in these ovals

We break up and go our separate ways ‘til one of us shows up

I was always at your side like this gun in my holster

But disloyalty weights heavy so I had to unload ya

Now I’m out of bullets, I got nothing, I’m lonely

Guess the monster you’ve become has been killing me, slowly

'Cause late at night, I feel her under my bed

I try to scream out, for somebody, but nothing is said

Instead, I just mutter under my breath that, "I love you"

Because in the end, I’m the one that’s fucked in the head

(Fucked in the head, fucked in the head)


[Chorus: Niklas Carson]

Now I'm the one you’re hiding from

No, it ain’t easy when a monster is the one

To build you up, then break you down

No, it ain’t easy when the person that you love

Is the monster I've become


[Outro]

Is the monster I’ve become, is the monster I've become
