Would You Still Be the Same?

She is crazy, she is toxic
She is hazy and she's neurotic
She isn't what she used to be

They had a fight; she is bawling
Doesn't know why he's not calling
This isn't how it's supposed to be
She used to be a leader;
He knew that when he picked her
Now she's afraid to speak

Would you be the same
If a monster came to stay?
What if he said
What if he said he loved you?
When love feels like a threat
But you can't leave him yet
'Cos he keeps promising to change
Would you still be the same?

Her friends tell her
That she deserves better
Than Jekyll and Hyde behaviour
But he's nice to her sometimes
And she lives for his approval
Despite the removal
Of anything that brings joy to her life
She wrote her Mum a letter
Asked her to come
And get her
But she keeps it in her mind

Would you be the same
If a monster came to stay?
What if he said
What if he said he loved you?
When love feels like a threat
But you can't leave him yet
'Cos he keeps promising to change
Would you still be the same?

Where's your sparkle
Where's your shine?
People ask her all the time
I've just been ill I'm feeling tired
Can't tell the truth yet
No-one would believe it
Cos he's so charming, he's so nice
And he's hiding in plain sight

Would you be the same
If a monster came to stay?
What if he said
What if he said he loved you?
When love feels like a threat
But you can't leave him yet
'Cos he keeps promising to change
Would you still be the same?
