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 shore

I'm telling you I know

Pick my heart off the ground

That muffled beat is quite a sound

My blood drips rain is 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

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
