The Beast

Johanna Samuels

Compositor: Johanna Samuels

The beast said he’d never thought he’d see me going
But then again, he must have had a way of knowing
That one more winter would turn into the next
Then he'd dangle a song and my soul need a rest

I always told myself that this never will be over
But how can I know myself unless I tell the story over?

When I came here, I was barely standing
I learned the art of a smoother landing
I met the people who comprised my heart
And if I know them at all, they would want me to start

I always told myself that this never will be over
But how can I know myself unless I tell the story over?

I always tell myself what I’ve always told myself
And I’ve always told myself what I always tell myself

Couldn’t think of someone who can love me better
Can take me from the city, we can go wherever
It would be such a disservice to myself to say
Just because I don’t want to change, so I'll put you away

I always tell myself what I’ve always told myself
And I’ve always told myself what I always tell myself
And what I’ve always told myself is that this never will be over
And I told myself again the day I looked over my shoulder
