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
