Hunger
Of Monsters and Men Lyrics

You are right, I'll move on
I accept your decision to end things and will try to move forward.

But my lungs feel so small
Even though I am trying to move on, I feel suffocated and trapped.

I couldn't breathe if I tried
The pain is so intense that it physically affects me to the point of being unable to breathe properly.

I lay my head on the floor
Feelings of helplessness and defeat leave me feeling as though I have nothing left to do but lay down.

My beating heart wanted more
My heart wants to continue fighting for the relationship, even though my mind acknowledges it is over.

But I'll keep it in and keep you out
Despite my feelings, I will try to keep them hidden and not interact with you.

I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I am completely overwhelmed and lost in my emotions.

But for the longest time I knew
Despite hanging onto hope, deep down I knew our relationship was doomed.

There was nothing left for us to do
We had exhausted all possible options and reconciliation was no longer an option.

But I tried, oh, I try
I made every effort possible to save our relationship, even though it was ultimately futile.

And in this quiet company
Alone with my thoughts, there is a sense of emptiness and silence around me.

There is nothing staring back at me
Reflecting on the failed relationship, I see no future or direction ahead of me.

I'm in need of the sound
To escape these thoughts, I am yearning for any kind of noise, be it music or conversation.

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you
I am driven to fight and succeed, but it's not driven by love for you.

Voices disappear when you are speaking, in sombre tunes
Despite your words, it feels as though your underlying emotions convey a sense of sadness or hopelessness.

I will be the wolf and when you're starving, you'll need it too
I will be strong and successful, and one day you will see how wrong you were to let me go.

I grew tall to fill the void
I tried to compensate for the emptiness by becoming stronger and more resilient.

Let me go 'cause you are just a shade
I realize that you do not complete me and are merely a shadow of what I need in a partner.

Of what I am, not what I'll be
I am capable of more and refuse to settle for less than I deserve.

But in this quiet company
Alone again, the silence and emptiness loom over me once more.

I forget sometimes just how to breathe
The intensity of my emotions and thoughts cause me to forget to take a breath and focus on the present.

Fill my lungs with the sound
To escape these thoughts, I seek music or conversation to distract me.

I'm drowning, I'm drowning
The weight of my emotions is consuming me, and I feel as though I am drowning.
