“I Dated A Monster” is a reminiscence on a previous relationship, comparing this ex-partner to that of a monster. CATTY uses monster-related wording like “haunting” and “sinking teeth in” here to personify the different feelings described.
[Verse 1]
I think it would've rained on the wedding day
Maybe our flight would've been delayed
Coulda had our bags damaged
I thought of everything, but not quite this
Never thought of you throwing me away
Never thought you'd say someone else's name
Think you might've done some damage
I gave you everything and wish I never did
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I would have died for you
Spent my whole life with you
Cried that last night with you
Begging you to tell me before I found out
[Chorus]
Now everybody knows that I dated a monster
Woke up in its bed and I saw the future
I wish I never did it, please know that I regret it
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
Everybody knows that I dated a monster
That's the kind of thing that will always haunt you
I wish I never did it, please know that I regret it
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
I think I dated a monster
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
[Verse 2]
The closest to death that I've ever been
I let it sink its teeth right into my skin
I can still feel the damage
It's out of my life, but it's still in my head
So I got back my meds, called my therapist again
And she told me that she's never heard a story like this
'Cause you dressed up like an angel, left just like a devil
Cast straight out of heaven, never to be seen again
[Pre-Chorus]
But I would have died for you
Spent my whole life with you
And I cried that last night with you
Begging you to tell me before I found out
[Chorus]
Now everybody knows that I dated a monster
Woke up in its bed and I saw the future
I wish I never did it, please know that I regret it
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
Everybody knows that I dated a monster
That's the kind of thing that will always haunt you
I wish I never did it, please know that I regret it
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
I think I dated a monster
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
[Bridge]
We had a future and past, a beginning and end
And I would have made it out without blood on my hands
But where would it leave me? Right where you left me
You die a hero, won't live long enough
[Chorus]
Now everybody knows that I dated a monster
Woke up in its bed and I saw the future
I wish I never did it, please know that I regret it
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
Everybody knows that I dated a monster
That's the kind of thing that will always haunt you
I wish I never did it, please know that I regret it
Oh god, I think I dated a monster
I think I dated a monster
