Monster

The monsters in my closet were my friends We'd share our stories and play pretend It took me too long to leave And I lost a part of me Pretending I wasn't a monster like them But the closet was such a home to me And sometimes I miss it dearly Wishing that I could get But there's no in and out of it So I guess this is how life's meant to be It took me several years to figure out Who the real monsters were but I know now I tried to pretend that I was just like them but No matter what I did I stood out But the closet was such a home to me And sometimes I miss it dearly Wishing that I could get But there's no in and out of it So I guess this is how life's meant to be (Oh) I wanted so bad to believe And lying came so easily All I had to do to fit was Smother what I found within and That was easier to do than being me But sometimes I find it hard to breathe I wonder when the past will stop haunting me Please be gentle with my patched-up heart The seams are getting loose and I'm afraid I'll fall apart But I'm just like everybody else But sometimes I think it's hard to tell But these scars will fade with time And I'll pretend that I'm just fine so I can be loved as well I'm just like everybody else But sometimes I think it's hard to tell But these scars will fade with time And I'll pretend that I'm just fine so I can be loved as well
