[Verse 1]
Layin' in the bed that I made all alone
Guess I'm not surprised, honestly
Praying in my head that you stayed, and I hope
You'll miss me eventually
[Pre-Chorus]
People wanna talk when I'm not around to hear
Really, they don't know what I'm made of
People keep on walking so far away from here
Clearly, I'm the one they're afraid of
[Chorus]
One after another, they've always come and gone
So what if I'm the monster that's been here all along?
They're droppin' like flies whenever I'm around
So used to goodbyes, there's comfort in the sound
Maybe I'm the monster that's been here all along
[Verse 2]
Bend until you break and you can't take any more
I'm not worth the trouble, it seems
I would say you're wrong, but I've been here before
You won't be the last one to leave
[Pre-Chorus]
People wanna talk when I'm not around to hear
Really, they don't know what I'm made of
People keep on walking so far away from here
Clearly, I'm the one they're afraid of
[Chorus]
One after another, they've always come and gone
So what if I'm the monster that's been here all along?
They're droppin' like flies whenever I'm around
So used to goodbyes, there's comfort in the sound
Maybe I'm the monster that's been here all along
[Bridge]
You're safe here, no need to run and hide
Underneath your cover now
Don't be scared, there's nothing left inside
Since you ate my heart out
[Chorus]
One after another, they've always come and gone
So what if I'm the monster that's been here all along?
They're droppin' like flies whenever I'm around
So used to goodbyes, there's comfort in the sound
Maybe I'm the monster that's been here all along

“Monster” came at a time when I was feeling like I was losing a lot of people, and it felt like a lot of different people and a lot of different directions. And it felt like I was doing something inherently bad, or I did something wrong. And there comes a point, if you’re having problems with people...
This track actually woke me up in the middle of the night, I was laying in bed, and then I woke up with “Maybe I’m the monster,” then I ran into my bathroom and recorded it. So it wasn’t really an intentional thing, it was just my feelings came into fruition in my dreams. A lot of times when I write...
It’s so interesting actually, when I hear Monster now, because I wrote it so long ago, and then you hear it so many times, you hear so many mixes, you do the music video, you sing it over and over, and you almost forget where it came from. And then when you listen to it back, after people have heard...
Gabbie Hanna:
“Monster” was always meant to be a rock song. All my songs were. But I had a lot of learning and growing to do before I could make that happen.
