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 pouring 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 someday 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
