I, I hide my light inside a cloak of night
Beneath the red scarf and a chapeaux
The pearl of my heart locked within a shell
Too afraid to let it go, to let it show

And all the headlines read
For the whole world to see

A monster in Paris

I fall apart, I fall apart, apparently
I did appear beneath the light
Yes it was me

A monster in Paris

I hide my pain inside a melody
It's as if the notes I sing set me free
I keep all my dreams under a lock and key
I'm so afraid that they will fly, away from me

A monster in Paris
A monster in Paris
A monster in Paris
