Six Cents, c’mon There's a monster I ain’t playin’ games, too far from the cradle And way too smart to just stay and enable She be thinkin’ I ain’t seeing the signs She been somewhere else, you can see it in her eyes Lost in the shadows, don’t know left from right All alone in the darkness, not a friend in sight Should I give in to my weakness, or fight for my life With demons closing in on every side How can love survive In a world of smoke and mirrors Where your heart can’t hide From the lies they’re getting clear to see I'm so terrified I keep calling for a hero to come But no one hear when I scream There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark) There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart) I can’t run from this feeling I can’t run from this pain I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark) There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart) I can’t run from this feeling I can’t run from this pain I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again My heartbeat racing, body cold with sweat Trying to find safe shelter, from the fears in my head But I can hear heavy footsteps, creeping up from behind Is it real or is it in my mind How can love survive In a world of smoke and mirrors Where your heart can’t hide From the lies they’re getting clear to see I'm so terrified I keep calling for a hero to come But no one hear when I scream There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark) There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart) I can’t run from this feeling I can’t run from this pain I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark) There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart) I can’t run from this feeling I can’t run from this pain I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again What you thinkin’, how’d it come to this Runnin’ game after you been fumbled with Dropped the ball, caught red handed Discarded my heart, damn near I can’t stand it Stayed alive for your love, all I had was your touch Felt changin’ my life for the better But now I know that’s a bluff, turned my pain into drugs Where my scars on my chest like a sweater I'm better without you Why in the hell I kept thinkin’ about you (why) I be on the prowl who’s for the taking Now look at the monster that you created, girl There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark) There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart) I can’t run from this feeling I can’t run from this pain I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again There’s a monster here in the dark (in the dark) There’s a monster breaking my heart (breaking my heart) I can’t run from this feeling I can’t run from this pain I can’t breathe when this monster controls me again
