Black Birdie - ​s & m lyrics

[Intro] Take a breath in, let it out It’s gonna be okay They probably didn’t notice Maybe you were in their way But something just feels off It’s like they don’t know that I’m here Maybe I’m the monster I’m the shadow in their rear [Verse 1] When I was young and blind to pain When I thought my life was a game I was so much happier then Never had to play pretend Now, I’m older and much wiser Tougher shell but not a fighter Aching to let out the demon The nightmare I keep dreamin’ [Pre-Chorus 1] But I mеt you and it felt okay To tell you when I'm in pain Talking ‘bout thе could-have-been's The how’s, the why’s, the where’s, and when’s I felt so safe and warm with you But underneath the surface, darkness grew ‘Cause this situation’s fu*ked up (Ah, ah-ah) In other’s, again I’ll never trust [Chorus 1] Take a breath in, let it out It’s gonna be okay They probably didn’t notice Or you were in their way But something just seems off It’s like they can’t see that I’m here Maybe I’m the monster I’m the shadow lurking near [Verse 2] I’m well aware of all I do 'Ware of all the hearts I touch But the opposite is far from true And it will never be enough Don’t treat me like I’m ‘bout to shatter (To shatter) Or tell me that I’m all that matters (That matters) Your lives are worth more than mine In me, darkness resides (Only) [Pre-Chorus 2] I never pester, never bother No, I never lie (I never lie) I’ll always attempt at happiness And when I fail, I’ll always cry (I always cry) I know I’m not alone I have a home away from home Where I can sleep and embrace my demons And never be alone (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [Chorus 2] Take a breath in and out But you’ll never be okay Forget them, unremember them They’ll just get in our way (In your way) It’s time for them to notice you And realize you’re here You’ve made me the shadow (Make them pay) I’m the monster you all fear [Outro] Take a breath in, let it out You’re gonna be okay You finally have an audience And you can make them pay (You can make them pay)
