"Monsters" lyrics

I've always been afraid of monsters
So you'd look under my bed
But I don't think that you can help me now
Because they all live in my head

'Cause I've tried everything to be okay, yeah, I have done it all
And I wish you could still keep me safe from my own downfall
But soon enough, I'll mess it up just like everything else
And the scariest of monsters is the one I call myself

It's getting late
You should go home
But secretly I wish you don't leave me alone
It's getting dark
And you can't stay
'Cause if you get to know me I'll push you away
And then I'll hurt for it
Even though it wasn't me, it was the monsters
So stay away from me
'Cause I'm the monster

I've tried living live in the shadows
So they'd all leave me alone
But the only thing it's taught me
Is they'll follow wherever I go

'Cause I've tried everything to be okay, yeah, I have done it all
And when things start going my way, I lose all control
'Cause we both know I'm way too strong to ever ask for help
But somehow I'm not strong enough to ever save myself

It's getting late
You should go home
But secretly I wish you don't leave me alone
It's getting dark
And you can't stay
'Cause if you get to know me I'll push you away
And then I'll hurt for it
Even though it wasn't me, it was the monsters
So stay away from me
'Cause I'm the monster
