I am the monster you created
You ripped out all my parts
And worst of all, for me to live
I gotta kill the part of me that saw
That I needed you more
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play what could have been
Oh, what could have been
Why don’t you love who I am?
What we could have been
I am your ghost, a fallen angel
You ripped out all my parts
I couldn’t care what invention you made me
'Cause I, I was meant to be yours
I hope you know we had everything
When you broke me and left these pieces
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and
I want you to lose like I lose when I play
What could have been
