Lyrics for A Monster
What's as big as a mountain And grows bigger every day 'Til it's taller than the sky It's a monster, a monster A monster lie What can change happy lovers Into hurt and lonely souls Just as we are, you and I It's a monster, a monster A monster lie Gossip can be an ugly thing Tearing love like I was a part How could you believe I wasn't true When I love with all my heart Darling, what a silly rumor Come through lying lips Made you wanna say goodbye It's a monster, a monster A monster lie What's as big as a mountain And grows bigger every day 'Till it's taller than the sky It's a monster, a monster A monster lie What can change happy lovers Into hurtin' lonely souls Just as we are, you and I It's a monster, a monster A monster lie Gossip can be an ugly thing Tearin' love like I was a part How could you believe I wasn't true When I love you with all my heart Darling, one silly rumor Turning fun through lying lips Made you wanna say goodbye It's a monster, a monster A monster lie It's a monster, a monster A monster lie It's a monster, a monster A monster lie
