Lyrics

You said you liked the quiet ones

So I learned to swallow sound,

You said you liked broad shoulders

So I built myself from the ground.

You pulled the laugh you hated out

And stitched a softer one in,

Said "almost perfect, almost mine" —

Then you started again.

You clipped my words like magazine pages,

Pinned my moods to a corkboard in stages.

Chose my jaw, chose my hands,

Chose the way that I'd smile —

Said "Just hold still, love —

This only takes a while."

I gave you the needle, I gave you the thread,

I gave you dominion over the living and dead.

I laid on your table, I opened my chest —

I thought love meant giving you all of the rest.

"IT'S ALIVE!"

And I rose for you, I rose for you,

Sewn together from the pieces that you chose.

Every bolt, every scar, every part you'd rearrange

I became your beautiful, your strange.

But Frankenstein was never loved —

Just studied, named, and shoved

Back into the dark when the

Wonder turned to dust.

You made me. You left me.

That's the cruelest kind of lust.

You said my taste in music

Was embarrassing to hear,

So I traded in my records for the

Ones you kept most dear.

You said my friends were

Pulling me in directions you didn't like,

So I cut the rope on every one and

Handed you the knife.

And God, I loved the way

You looked at your creation,

Like a sculptor drunk on their own revelation.

But you weren't building something —

You were editing a man,

Crossing out the lines of me

That didn't fit your plan.

I gave you the needle, I gave you the thread,

I gave you dominion over the living and dead.

I laid on your table, I opened my chest —

I thought love meant giving you all of the rest.

"IT'S ALIVE!"

And I rose for you, I rose for you,

Sewn together from the pieces that you chose.

Every bolt, every scar, every part you'd rearrange

I became your beautiful, your strange.

But Frankenstein was never loved —

Just studied, named, and shoved

back into the dark when the

Wonder turned to dust.

You made me. You left me.

That's the cruelest kind of lust.

You cried when you left.

Said I wasn't the person you fell in love with.

No.

I'm exactly the person you built.

Every word you didn't like — gone.

Every habit that embarrassed you — gone.

Every friend, every song,

Every laugh that was mine —

Gone, gone, gone.

You took me apart on a table of your own design.

You kept only the pieces you wanted.

You threw the rest in the river.

And now you're leaving the monster you made

Standing in the rain

Wondering which parts of him were real.

You're the monster.

You were always the monster.

I was just the parts you collected.

You built me up, you tore me down,

Played God in a lover's gown.

Every bolt you drove in deep

Was a piece of me you chose to keep —

And the rest you left to rot.

I rose for you.

I rose for you.

And the only thing I got —

Was a name that isn't mine,

A face drawn on your line,

A grave dug out of everything

I was before you came.

You're the doctor.

I'm the warning.

And the monster has your name.

Which parts are real…

Which parts are yours…

Which parts were left…

On the laboratory floor…

"It's… alive…"
