Monsters

I see your monsters I see your pain Tell me your problems I'll chase them away I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave And chase them all away A cup of coffee still steaming Staring back at me, it's blacker than the night I'm awake but still sleeping I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't) And I know it can't get worse than today Sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say See, she's in the bathroom hoping I'm not in earshot While she's getting used to the sound of a teardrop (Splash) It hits the tile And I know it's been a while since you seen me Smile and laugh like I used to I've been in denial since it happened Just take me to the past 'Cause I just can't imagine losing you (too) I can't explain this so I'll keep it all inside Wear my pain, but it's masked by my pride She came to hold me and she cried Told me this as she stared into my eyes, said I see your monsters I see your pain Tell me your problems I'll chase them away I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave And chase them all away I can't You won't like what you see If you were in my head and had to hear my pleas It's like I can't believe this is happening to me And could someone please shut this f**king answering machine So I can start leaving these messages That you will never get And all these cries for help You'll never see and never check But I guess it's easy for you to leave me But believe me See this isn't something that Imma just forget I would trade it all for one more minute Don't you see I really need you to talk to I'm still sitting here wondering who did it While I'm staring out our front door Knowing you'll never walk through Said you'd come right back And now you're gone like that A blank stare as I stand so alone And know you're never coming home (damn) I see your monsters I see your pain Tell me your problems I'll chase them away I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave And chase them all away I got a heart made of fool's gold Got me feeling so cold But you chipping away All the promises that I told Felt like I was on those But keep slipping away I want nobody else But it's hard to get to know me When I don't know myself And it helps 'cause I felt I was down, I was out Then you looked at me now And said I see your monsters I see your pain Tell me your problems I'll chase them away I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave I see your monsters I see your pain Tell me your problems I'll chase them away I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave And chase them all away
