Frankenstein Love

There was a time
When I was Frankenstein
Dressed in pain, left for dead
When I got your letter
I left much better
Then there was the day
In came the mind decay
Poking at me, burning me with fire
Anything to miss has got to be higher
But I'll always remember
What I can't forget
You can't kill my spirit
And there was the night
The monster battle fight
They swore they cut me open
I said you must be joking
Just look at my scars
I've been pushed round
But I'm on the rebound
Someday maybe I'll come out okay.
And I can be a hero in the end
But I'll always remember
What I can't forget
You can't kill my spirit
