Between The Sheets
Monty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so scared cause along with this infection I will fear rejection.
She is all I ever wanted,
And I'm not the one, the only one.
Through sheets you will teach and I will learn.
I've always wanted you to know.
Don't care even if these sheets did burn.
I'm scared, full of fear, and so,
You need to know.

I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
You can hide between the covers and taste the bitterness you've given to me.
I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
Why can't we just be together and say this is how we've wanted to be.

I can't stand,
SINCE THE BIRTH OF THIS INCEPTION WE'VE BEEN DEEMED A COLLECTION.
You don't have to go on girl,
Cause I can feed your appetite.
Why can't you conceive this?

Through sheets you will teach and I will learn
I've always wanted you to know
Don't care even if these sheets did burn
I'm scared, full of fear, and so
You need to know

I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
You can hide between the covers and taste the bitterness you've given to me.
I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
Why can't we just be together and say this is how we've wanted to be.

All she's got is all I need.
All that she wants and all that she needs she can't give to me.
All that I've got is all that she needs.
All that she wants and all that she needs.
You can't taste these lips for free.

I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
You can hide between the covers and taste the bitterness you've given to me.
I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
Why can't we just be together and say this is how we've wanted to be.

I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
Why can't we just be together? I'm sick of being placed right on the shelf.

I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
You can hide between the covers and taste the bitterness you've given to me.




I don't wanna be your lover, I just wanna be myself,
Why can't we just be together and say this is how we've wanted to, this is how we've wanted to
