Your little monster went running right through the forest.
You're too scared to explore it, but you can't ignore it.
He'll consume all your worldly possessions,
Become an obsession that you can't confess.
Dwell on, little monster, you eat me away.
I can't sleep on a mattress that speaks of your name,
But low and behold, I sleep in defiance.
An alliance that's not like the rest.
Extravagant letters, half hearted blush,
A moment of silence or a moment too much,
Into a corner, sent back to the touch.
It was never enough, it was never enough.
And I've waited so long for you to come home.
I'm tired of being excused.
I've waited so long to have you alone,
To tell and be told the whole truth.
And this habit that I haven't held since high school,
I've been trying to avoid it's use
'Cause now it's just a constant reminder
Of all the time I spent it on you.
And I've waited so long for you to come home.
I'm tired of being excused.
I've waited so long to have you alone,
To tell and be told the whole truth.
I'm only here to wreck myself for you.
And that crest that I wore on my chest with such pride,
It's become the most vital thing I choose to hide,
But I need it more as I'm pushing you away.
As I'm begging you to stay, I'm begging you to say...
"I'm begging you to stay. I'm begging you to stay."
And this habit that I haven't held since high school,
I've been trying to avoid it's use,
'Cause now it's just a constant reminder
Of all the time I wrecked myself for you.
(I'm only here to wreck myself for you.
I'm only here to wreck myself for you.
I'm only here to be a reminder
Of all the times I wrecked myself for you.)
And again, I'm here to wreck myself for you.
