Pet Monkey Lyrics

Pet Monkey lyrics

(Calvin's parts are italicized)







I just can't quite explain



Why it's not the same



With you anymore



It's not that you have changed



Or that we're estranged



I just wanted more







I've always lived my life



Under watchful eyes



Always someone's girl







You only wanted me



As you thought I'd be



Living in your world







 Your insanity



Is not lost on me



Mess around with hearts



So easily broke



I still can't



Believe



It's not all a joke







 



What do you know



What do you care



How could you think



Things were okay



How could I know



Behind that stare



You're on the brink



I couldn't stay







 I'm



Scared







Whatever you say



I'm



Scared







You wouldn't stay







 



Stop sleeping and start bleeding



I know you're hurt and it's not fair



Stop dreaming and start bleeding



Blood on your shirt and in your hair



It kind of hurts when you're



(Here and) not there







And I can't quite explain



Why you act insane



Why you fail to cope



Something inside your brain



Trips a switch again



And you lose all hope







I'm not responsible



If you lose control



If you go too far



You try and cut yourself



But it doesn't help



It just leaves a scar







 Messing around with



Hands and glass and games of



Smash and and brag, I guess I'll



Have to live with



Cussing out



All of my mistakes







 



What do you know



What do you care



How could you think



Things were okay



How could I know



Behind that stare



You're on the brink



I couldn't stay







 I'm



Scarred







Whatever you...



Say



I'm scarred







Anyway







 



Stop sleeping and start bleeding



I know you're hurt and it's not fair



Stop dreaming and start bleeding



Blood on your shirt and in your hair



It kind of hurts when you're



(Here and) not there







Stop dreaming and start screaming



It's so hard trying not to care



Stop breathing and start screaming



But you're too much for me to bear



It kind of hurts when you're



(Here and) not there







(Amelia sings Calvin's part here)



What do you know



What do you care



How could you think



Things were okay



How could I know



Behind that stare



You're on the brink



I couldn't stay







 I'm



Scared







Whatever you say



I'm



Scared







You wouldn't stay







 



Stop dreaming and start screaming



It's so hard trying not to care



Stop breathing and start screaming



But you're too much for me to bear



It kind of hurts when you're



(Here and) not there
