Monster Heart

Verse 1: In the shadows of the night, where the wild things roam, She wandered through the darkness, all alone. With eyes that glowed like embers, heart as cold as stone, A creature of the forest, without a home. Her skin like moonlit silver, her voice a haunting wail, Her dreams forever shattered, beneath a cursed veil. She watched the world in silence, through the thickened mist, A soul that yearned for something, that could not exist. Pre-Chorus: But then she saw him standing, by the river’s edge, A light that pierced the night, like a burning pledge. She watched him from a distance, felt her heart awake, A love that she could never dare to take. Chorus: Oh, monster heart, why do you beat? For a love that’s bittersweet? A beauty in the beast's embrace, Now she knows she found her place. No longer in the shadows deep, Together now, their hearts will keep. Oh, monster heart, why do you ache? For a love that seems so great? Verse: She longed to touch his hand, feel the warmth he gave, To break the chains of fate, to be so brave. But her claws could only harm, and her teeth could bite, A curse upon her soul, bound by night. Through the forest paths she wandered, with a heavy heart, Each step a silent whisper, tearing her apart. She carved his name in tree trunks, with a gentle claw, An echo of her longing, that no one ever saw. Pre-Chorus: She watched him every evening, under moonlit skies, A silent guardian with tear-filled eyes. She whispered to the stars, her love's silent plea, To be human, if only momentarily. Chorus: Oh, monster heart, why do you beat? For a love that’s bittersweet? A beauty in the beast's embrace, Now she knows she found her place. No longer in the shadows deep, Together now, their hearts will keep. Oh, monster heart, why do you ache? For a love that seems so great? [Outro] One night he saw her there, a silhouette of pain, He reached out through the darkness, through the rain. "Why do you hide away? Don’t you know I see, The beauty in the beast, the love you’ve given me?" She trembled in the moonlight, afraid to speak her truth, Afraid to break the silence, shatter her heart's youth. But in his eyes she saw it, a spark of understanding, A love that knew no bounds, a love so demanding. [Pre-Chorus] He held her in his arms, banished all her fears, Wiped away her sorrow, dried her bitter tears. They stood together, bound by fate’s embrace, In a world that saw beyond, to a sacred place. [Final Chorus] Oh, monster heart, why do you beat? For a love that’s bittersweet? A beauty in the beast's embrace, Now she knows she found her place. No longer in the shadows deep, Together now, their hearts will keep. [Final Line] They broke the chains of fate, found a way to be, In a world that finally set them free. In a world that finally set them free. [Final Chorus] Oh, monster heart, why do you beat? For a love that’s bittersweet? A beauty in the beast's embrace, Now she knows she found her place. No longer in the shadows deep, Together now, their hearts will keep. [Final Line] They broke the chains of fate, found a way to be, In a world that finally set them free. In a world that finally set them free. [End]
