[Verse 1]
I - I know it's all inside my head
I know I'm just like everyone said
That I'm as stable in my mind
As a burning house with time
But for the record you reminded me
Reminded me I'm not here alone
You took my hand before you took me home
And the shivers down my spine
Were like frozen frames in time
Out of a corner in my mind
[Chorus]
But I'm a monster of affection
And you're my beautiful addiction
So lie to me and tell me how
I'm okay, it's just for now
It's just for now
[Verse 2]
I - I've made a fool of myself before
Open my eyes, leave me wanting more
Force me out and make me drown again
Force me to save myself in time
Time just before I come undone
Off of the hills we built I spun
Out of control
But you've seen it all
You've seen it all
[Chorus]
I'm a monster of affection
And you're my beautiful addiction
So lie to me and tell me how
I'm okay, it's just for now
It's just for now
[Bridge]
But what if, what if we were home
And all the worse things in this life I could feel
Maybe my eyes would only see what's before me
And the only thing I'd have to feel was real
But that's not real
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a monster of affection
And you're my beautiful addiction
So lie to me and tell me how
I'm okay, it's just for now
I'm a monster of affection
And you're my beautiful addiction
So lie to me and tell me how
I'm okay, it's just for now
It's just for now
