Frightens the Baby Lyrics

There's a new little monster that wants to be fed

And I can't give it much from inside of my head

So I stray from my comfort zone, open the door

To begging its maker

To give me some more

Crumbs of attention and signs of affection

I won't go too low but I might bend a little

At times when it's not offered freely

Believe me, I know I'll be fine

But it frightens the baby

I know I'll be fine but it frightens the baby

I know I'll be fine

And as it grows stronger, I hope it lasts longer

Or learns that the risk of starvation is not a real threat

Cuz the whole baby monster is only imagined

The pace of its growth can be steady and slow, I know

Still I'm starved and you're everything I'm hungry for

I kinda want him around

Will it kill us the longer he goes without making a sound?

I'll stand on my own two feet

But that doesn't mean I don't always want something to eat

It takes two to keep this alive

But we're tired and busy and broken

And split by a drive

And I know I can't force it to thrive

But if you don't kill it, I'll trust you don't want it to die

If you don't feed it, I'll know you don't care if it dies

I know you'd hate this but I wonder if astrology tried to send me a sign

I know you hate the way you gave me hope and took it back, I watched you change your mind

You made promises too soon

And I guaranteed too late

Put a damper on the month of June

But at least I can say that I've been on a date

(I know that you want it die)

I kinda want him around

Will it kill us the longer he goes without making a sound?

I'll stand on my own two feet

But that doesn't mean I don't always want something to eat

You told me I could try

You told me I could vie

Did you think I wouldn't fail?

Is the monster gonna die?

And I know you think it's best to let lie

But I don't have time to grieve, I think I'll keep this alive

And I know you think it's best to let lie

But I don't have time to grieve, you said it wasn't goodbye

You said you wouldn't leave

I don't have time to grieve

You told me to believe

(You told me to believe)

You said you don't deceive

I know I'm not naive

Hearts go back under sleeves

And I know you think it's best to let lie

But I don't have time to grieve, I think I'll keep this alive
