I was there standing before you
Expecting you to care
I never meant to hurt you
I couldn’t help it.
The monster came out of me.
I thought for a time I was safe
You made me feel like a man
Not like the beast I was.
I knew you loved me,
I could see it in your eyes
I tried so desperately to tame the beast inside
I didn’t mean to hurt you
You were the only one I ever loved
If only for a few days
You made me feel alive.
