I'm Not a Monster

It's like sand slipping through my fingers
It's like water running away when a tsunami approaches
If it's running away, it's because there's a reason
I'm not some kind of monster
Love

It's like I'm going to lose you
Even though you run
Nobody can stop you
It's a race
And I can't catch you
I feel like a monster chasing little children
I'll value someone who sees me as a little princess

You see the world burning
I see the world in black and white without you
You see me as the witch from your story
I see myself as a child without your plush toy
Is it too much to ask you to stop running?

It's like sand slipping through my fingers
It's like water fleeing when a tsunami approaches
If it's fleeing, it's because there's a reason
I'm not some kind of monster
Love

It's like sand slipping through my fingers
It's like water fleeing when a tsunami approaches
If it's fleeing, it's because there's a reason
I'm not some kind of monster
Love

Don't you feel this is dragging on?

You want me to run, so let me know so I can put on my clothes
I didn't think you liked to play games
Now I know your type
A smile escapes my lips
Don't be happy, love
It's the kind of smile that will tire you out

It's like I'm going to lose you
Although you run
Nobody can stop you
It's a race
And I can't catch you
I feel like a monster chasing little children
I'll value someone who sees me as a little princess

You see the world on fire
I see the world in black and white without you
You see me as the witch from your story
I see myself as a child without your plush toy
Is it too much to ask you to stop running?

It's like sand slipping through my fingers
It's like water fleeing when a tsunami approaches
If it's fleeing, it's because there's a reason
I'm not some kind of monster
Love

It's like sand slipping through my fingers
It's like water fleeing when a tsunami approaches
If it's fleeing, it's because there's a reason
I'm not some kind of monster
Love
