Below, you will find the lyrics for Monster by Shawn Mendes.
Verse 1
You put me on a pedestal and tell me I'm the best
Raise me up into the sky until I'm short of breath
Fill me up with confidence, I say what's in my chest
Spill my words and tear me down until there's nothing left
Rearrange the pieces just to fit me with the rest, yeah
Chorus 1
But what if I, what if I trip?
What if I, what if I fall?
Then am I the monster?
Just let me know
And what if I, what if I sin?
And what if I, what if I break? Yeah
Then am I the monster? Yeah
Just let me know, yeah
Verse 2
I was fifteen when the world put me on a pedestal
I had big dreams of doin' shows and making memories
Made some bad moves tryna act cool, upset by their jealously
Lifting me up lifting me up
Verse 2
And tearing me down tearing me down
I'll take responsibility for everything I've done
Holding it against me like you're the holy one
Bridge
I had a chip on my shoulder, had to let it go
'Cause unforgiveness keeps them in control
I came in with good intentions then I let it go
And now I really wanna know
Chorus 2
But what if I, what if I trip?
What if I, what if I fall?
Then am I the monster?
Just let me know
And what if I, what if I sin?
And what if I, what if I break?
Then am I the monster?
Just let me know
Outro
La-da-da-duh-duh But what if I fall?
La-da-da-da-duh-duh

La-da-da-duh-duh Please don't let me fall
La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na
La-da-da-da-duh-duh please don't let me fall
La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na
