lyrics

A serpent in broad daylight
A predator by candlelight
I didn’t know what you were before

A demon with an angel face
A liar with a cloak of grace
Who would’ve known what you were before

Oh the monster inside of you

You told me stories of the past
Rolled in sugar and alabaster
Who would have known
What you were before

You hid the truth between your teeth
But truth comes out eventually
And now I know what you did before

Oh the monster inside of you
Oh the monster inside of you

Tell me how can you be two people at once
The side you show me is the side I love
But a trigger is all it takes to hurt someone
So Darling, put down your gun

I sifted through your memories
Through drunken words and jeopardy
Who would have known what you were before

A villain with a heart of ice
With hands as warm as paradise
Who would have known what you did before

Oh the Monster inside of you
Oh the Monster inside of you

Tell me how can you be two people at once
The side you show me is the side I love
But a trigger is all it takes to hurt someone
So darling, put down your gun

I know you didn’t mean it, your wounds are still there
Someone else was a monster before you got here
Now I see you don’t mean to act like you do
But you cant help yourself from splitting in two
No you cant help yourself from splitting in two
But you cant help yourself from splitting in two

Tell me how can you be two people at once
The side you show me is the side I love
But a trigger is all it takes to hurt someone
So darling, put down your gun
