The Monster You Made Me by SabrinaBurke - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro - soft piano, distant choir]

Ahh…

You woke me…

⸻

[Verse 1]

I felt the darkness call my name

Like a secret carved into my veins

You touched the parts I hid away

And something holy slipped to grey

You showed me shadows I could keep

A place where broken hearts can breathe

I stepped inside the flames you lit

And found a version strong enough to live

⸻

[Pre-Chorus - new, intimate]

You didn’t drag me to the edge

I stepped in closer, breathless, pledged

Say my name like it’s a sin

I was yours the moment I let you in

⸻

[Chorus - soaring, emotional]

I’m becoming the monster that you made me

But I’m not afraid

Let your darkness overtake me

Keep me sane

I can’t sleep without you next to me

I’m wide awake

I’ll shout it out loud —

I’m becoming the monster you made me

⸻

[Verse 2]

They call you wicked; I don’t care

I saw the truth you tried to spare

You held my shadows without fear

And suddenly the world was clear

Maybe I was meant for this

A love that tastes like venom’s kiss

A crown of ash upon my head

Feels more honest than the life I left

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

You didn’t drag me to the edge

I stepped in closer, breathless, pledged

Say my name like it’s a sin

I was yours the moment I let you in

⸻

[Chorus - bigger, layered harmonies]

I’m becoming the monster that you made me

But I’m not afraid

Let your darkness overtake me

Keep me sane

I can’t sleep without you next to me

I’m wide awake

I’ll shout it out loud —

I’m becoming the monster you made me

⸻

[Bridge - quiet → rising, strings swell]

Take what’s left — I won’t pretend

I was never built for innocence

If loving you is how I fall

Then let the light forget my all

I crossed the line — I don’t repent

This shadowed heart is permanent

Your wickedness has set me free

Now the dark belongs to me

⸻

[Final Chorus - full choir, full strings, strongest belt]

I’m becoming the monster that you awakened

And I’m not afraid

Pull me under, let your shadows take me

I need your faith

I lie awake with your name in my chest

Lost in the ache

I’ll cry it out loud —

I’m becoming the monster you made me

⸻

[Outro - choir fades, piano only]

Ahh…

You woke me…
