Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had more than ten years to prepare
Prepare myself for this day
But when you rang the bell and stood in the door
I didn't know what to say
Maybe I had expected to see blood on your hands
Something evil or gross in your eyes
But there stood a friendly elderly man
And all I could think was 'time flies'
[PreChorus]
As if I don't know who you are
As if you don't know who I am
As if I don't know what you've done
Now we sit here like father and son
[Verse 2]
I'm not sure you're aware that I know what you've done
I don't know how much you recall
Or if all disappeared in a thick cloud of booze
And you don't remember at all
Or maybe you managed to block it all out
The screams and the tears that she shed
When a scared little girl learnt that the monsters to fear
Were not those living under her bed
[PreChorus]
As if I don't know who you are
As if you don't know who I am
As if I don't know what you've done
Now we sit here like father and son
[Chorus]
And now we're talking face to face
How can you live with your disgrace?
The wounds that you've given no time could heal
Monster, monster
[PreChorus]
As if I don't know who you are
As if you don't know who I am
As if I don't know what you've done
Now we sit here like father and son
[Chorus]
And now we're talking face to face
How can you live with your disgrace?
The wounds that you've given no time could heal
Monster, monster
[Chorus]
And now we're talking face to face
How can you live with your disgrace?
And you live with the guilt, with the shame, with yourself?
Monster, monster
[Verse 3]
It may very well be that I am not fair
I have never walked in your shoes
Maybe you have become a much better man
When you managed, you got off the booze
So I'm sorry if I appear distant and cold
I am trying as good as I can
But I prefer my monsters with the face of a monster
Not the face of a friendly old man
[Outro]
I can't help I know who you are
By now you should know who I am
I'll never forget what you've done
So we can't be like father and son
