The Beast

Painfully, it came to me like a razor
That cuts a ribbon on your throat
You’re part of me, and a part of me is in danger
Of losing all my self-control

Who is this person you turned out to be?
You had me convinced for so long
Smooth on the surface but sharp underneath
You were the beast all along
And you keep coming back, you keep coming back
It always ends the same

I can see, you were born to be it’s your nature
You were better on your own
But stupidly, I believed it was safer
To be the one who never knows

What kind of person you turned out to be
You had me convinced for so long
Smooth on the surface but sharp underneath
You were the beast all along
And you keep coming back, you keep coming back
It always ends the same

Truthfully, you have always been like a stranger
And here I am the last to know
It’s just like me to be so naïve I’m a failure
To let my inhibitions go

Who is this person you turned out to be?
You had me convinced for so long
Smooth on the surface but sharp underneath
You were the beast all along
And you keep coming back, you keep coming back
It always ends the same
