"Monsters" lyrics

When it rains, and it pours
And your heart can take no more, just call me then
When you're down, I'm around
To sit still so you can rest upon my chest

I told her I would do all I could to be the man she needs
I told her I would do all I could to fight the worst in me

Monsters in the closet, honey, monsters overhead
Monsters lying next to me at night before I rest
They gonna haunt me
They gonna twist me into knots
Don't let me haunt you
Don't let me haunt you, that I beg, oh

Now I'm fightin' (I'm fightin') to be the best I can
Honey, I'm dyin' (I'm dyin'), and there's trouble up ahead
Mother ain't lyin' (ain't lyin') when she says I'm all I am
Brother, quit cryin' (quit cryin'), I'll be home in time for bed

I told her I would do all I could to be the man she needs
I told her I would do all I could to fight the worst in me

Monsters in the closet, honey, monsters overhead
Monsters lying next to me at night before I rest
They gonna haunt me
They gonna twist me into knots
Don't let me haunt you
Don't let me haunt you, that I beg, oh

Behind locked doors is where we stay
Chained and kept to keep the worst away, the worst away
Behind locked doors is where we stay
Chained and kept to keep the worst away, the worst away
Behind locked doors is where we stay
Chained and kept to keep the worst away, the worst away
Behind locked doors is where we stay
Chained and kept to keep the worst away, the worst away
