Monsters (Take 2)

I got monsters

But they ain't the kind that hide underneath your bed

Only ever to come out at night

I got history, but you won't find it in a book

Just a couple songs is all the notes

About it that I ever took

I got good friends

But they ain't the kind you'd want to introduce your sister to

But they'll have your back every time

I got you, babe

But I can't comprehend how you could love a man

Who can't love himself, his soul is always on the mend

And I've always looked for someone who could understand

My mistakes in life taught me 'bout who I am

But you understand

I don't know why you stick around

But, honey, I don't mind

You keep my feet on the ground and my head held up high

Girl, I hope you never say goodbye

You got brown eyes that are as bright as you are sharp

They light your face and the surrounding space

Like Roman candles in the dark

And you lit me like a Camel cigarette

I illuminate a speck of sky and all our dreams inside of it

And I've always looked for someone to make a man out of me

And it ain't fair to you

But I'm so glad that you believe in me

I don't know why you stick around

But, honey, I don't mind

You keep my feet on the ground and my head held up high

Girl, I hope you never say goodbye

You were broken, but not as broke as I

And mending you, you mended me until our fears were all defied

They say pain heals with time

Girl, we got the rest of our lives

I don't know why you stick around

But, honey, I don't mind

You keep my feet on the ground and my head held up high

Girl, I hope you never say goodbye

Darling, please don't ever say goodbye
