"Monkey" lyrics

You say you love me, oh yeah, I bet
With all that money and time I spent
To keep you happy, not coming at me
I pay the rent
I'll say it's over, you say okay
Keep my composure and negotiate
I'll take the week, and you take the week
And let's walk away

Oh, no
Can't say that it wasn't fun
Flying too close to the sun
I never meant to hurt anyone
Oh, yeah
I pay for every mistake
In every conceivable way
I pack it up and I say I'm done (And every time I)

Shake that monkey off of my back
He keeps crawling, crawling right back
I let go, but man, I'm still so attached (And every time I)
Shake that monkey out of my brain
He shows up in different ways
'Round and 'round in circles I can't escape

I've got this feeling I can't explain
Like I can't live with or without the pain
I'm so unhappy that I'm kind of happy
Yes, all the same

Oh, no
Can't say that it wasn't good
Doing shit that nobody should
But we haven't talked in almost a month
Oh, yeah
I pay for every mistake
In every conceivable way
I pack it up and I say I'm done (And every time I)

Shake that monkey off of my back
He keeps crawling, crawling right back
I let go, but man, I'm still so attached (And every time I)
Shake that monkey out of my brain
He shows up in different ways
'Round and 'round in circles I can't escape (And every time I)
Shake that monkey off of my back
He keeps crawling, crawling right back
I let go, but man, I'm still so attached (And every time I)
Shake that monkey out of my brain
He shows up in different ways
'Round and 'round in circles I can't escape (And every time I)

(And every time I)
(Shake that monkey out of my brain)
(He shows up in different ways)
('Round and 'round in circles I can't escape)
