it stays behind the gates, i keep it right at bay, i
will never hesitate to take my things and run away
and I just pray someday that maybe you will see
the monster inside me, but please don't set it free, oh
you call me insecure, quite annoying, just a bore
dealing with me is a chore, I'm telling you I know.
pick my heart off the ground, that muffled beat is quite a sound,
my blood drips rain, it's pourin' down, this heartbreak takes a toll, oh
won't you tell me, won't you tell it to me true
you and i both know that i'm not me when i'm with you, oh
won't you let me go and walk right through that door
i only wanna leave because you know i'm insecure
it stays behind the gates, i keep it right at bay, i
will never hesitate to take my things and run away
and i just pray some day that maybe you will see
the monster inside me, but please don't set it free, oh
it stays behind the gates, i keep it right at bay, i
will never set it free, the monster inside me
