The Demon That Keeps You Awake

I'm not who you think I am
I am the demon that keeps you awake
Laying next to you, cold as ice
I may laugh and smile like you
It took years to master but I managed it
I'm not like you, I can prove it
Watch my eyes, neutral they stay
I really do like you
The emotions I can't show
Years I've run, hiding from the darkness
Your smiles
Make my heart beat a little bit faster
Your hands on my hips
The warmth spreading against my skin
For now I can be like you

I'll be the monster under your bed
Always on your mind
As it tries to figure out
Where we went wrong
Why you couldn't tame the beast inside
I've killed, the past catching up to me
I am sorry, I can't be yours
But I will still think of you everyday
About those summer nights
Spent alone, under the stars
The moon watching every move
Will you wait for me?

We can try again to make things right
To chase away the evil inside me
Which plagues me
Even as I write to you
From my bare cell in this lonely place
Wont you please visit?
Even if I ask nicely, I doubt you will
I'm the thorn dug into your side

Trust me
This will be the last letter
I will send to you
And a few years I'll be out of here
Maybe we can meet
Once we had the world
We let go and moved on
This is fate

I am the demon that keeps you awake
I am the monster hiding under your bed
Always on your mind I will stay
I love you and I am sorry
It shouldn't of ended this way
