Monster

I had a dream you died last night

I woke up mouthing things I should've said

But I slept on those words instead

You haunt the stairways in my head

You're the monster under my bed

Reach for me when I repent

Yet I should've learned

I should've learned

You're the monster under my bed

Making mess I keep trying to address

Cannot come to terms

With the monster under my bed

I told you secrets I should've kept

You spill them up as I collect

But I fall for it half a million times

Like a bad old house just one peek inside

You're the mystery with the hell of a history

And my hands are red

You're the monster under my bed

Reach for me when I repent

Yet I should've learned

I should've learned

You're the monster under my bed

Making mess I keep trying to address

Cannot come to terms

With the monster under my bed
