Monster In Me Lyrics

I'm sorry I can't be more happy

When you're around

If I pretend to feel

You'll pretend it's real

It's an unspoken deal

Between your heart and mine

We both know this can't go on forever

It will only become harder to mend

It's not to say that I'm giving up, however

If we can't face the truth but continue to pretend

Then through sadness and great pain this will end

I have this fear

If our son wasn't here

That I might disappear

Faster than you could say stay

I have this fear

That if you weren't here

Maybe I'd still have

All that I hold dear

We both know this can't go on forever

It will only become harder to mend

It's not to say that I'm giving up, however

If we can't face the truth but continue to pretend

Then through sadness and great pain all this will end

I want to fall in love with you

Not break your heart

But tell me who could promise that we'll never be apart

And if you need the kind of love that will shower you with praise

Overwhelm you with affection

Gently kiss upon your face

Well I'm ashamed to admit

That love's not in me, it's not in me

I don't have what you need

I fear I love you in word but not in deed

Pray for this monster you see

That I might live before I die

And know a love that's worthy
