I always thought the monsters were inside my own head
Not lying beside me in my own bed
All it'd take is one moment of clarity
But not even that much came to me
Wasted my life building you up instead

So how did I get from that sixteen year old
Dressed in tartan in the doorway
And how did you guess that I'd agree to go
When you asked me to run away
How could I expect that things would change
When all you ever knew was your own way

Was I just another conquest
Was I just another regret
Something to look back on later and think
Why did I do that
The shadows are brewing
Ghost stories aren't half as haunting
As the fact that the life I lived
Was one that I thought I wanted

I always thought the monsters
Came from my own mind
Little did I know they were with me my whole life
A father who always abandoned me
A husband who thought that love should be free
I was formed from them like they were Frankenstein

So how did I get from that sixteen year old
Dressed in tartan in the doorway
And how did I think that things were fine
When I was losing everything safe
How could I pretend I was the only one
When all you ever did was look the other way

Was I just another conquest
Was I just another regret
Something to look back on later and think
Why did I do that
The shadows are brewing
Ghost stories aren't half as haunting
As the fact that the life I lived
Was one that I thought I wanted

Was I just another conquest
Was I just another regret
Something to look back on later and think
Why did I do that
The monster I created
Out of nothing but my pen and my language
Will haunt all of my nightmares and will be wearing your faces
