Untitled (lovers Turn Into Monsters) Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Lovers turn into monsters at the loss of all affection 

Almost like it was the affection that kept them from being monsters 

And I could have used some warning 

I was on that porch all morning 

Smoking cigarettes and sinking deeper into doubt 

Could it be I am mistaken, have I stolen somebody's baby? 

Is it possible for two people to need the same thing? 

It's just the lines, they get so blurry 

Between what is once, and now required 

And I don't know on which side his heart falls 

But I know where mine is buried 

And it's so far from any wanting 

Yeah, it needs this to keep beating 

It won't go on without it 

If I'm still weighed down with subtleties 

Then I'll just come right out and say 

That I think that I deserve her 

More than anyone deserves anything 

Maybe I am selfish, but there is no way to share this 

There's not enough to go around, I don't care who else gets hurt 

But I'm still sick with empathy because I once stood in his place 

I spent a year quietly dying while he let go and ignored her 

And I'm sure that there are reasons for everything that happens 

And absence leads to adoration, yeah it's nobody's fault 

But now there is no way to change this 

So I just photographed and framed it 

And it's hanging in a hallway 

That we have no right to walk back down 

But I hope that he feels better but I'm sick of all the drama 

I can't stand to see her crying, I just want this shit to end 

And I want a place to hang out where record players play out 

And there's a thousand movies rented for a thousand nights with her
