[Verse 1]
Woke up with that feelin' in my gut
I've been startin' fights and shit for months
Hurts so bad, I'm scared of wakin' up
With you again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate you and I hate who you make me
You turn me into someone I can't stand
[Chorus]
You always lie to me
Then you lie down with me, you won't leave
And you're so unhealthy, you're breakin' me
Messin' with my head
It feels like a bad dream
Yeah, and I wonder why I can't sleep
When you're here 'cause I know the monster
He ain't under the bed
'Cause he's in it with me
[Verse 2]
I know that I'm not the only one
You'll visit when it's late or when I'm drunk
But I swear that I'm your favorite victim
Feel you in my chest when I'm alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hate you and I hate who you make me
How dare you come and steal away my peace
[Chorus]
You always lie to me
Then you lie down with me, you won't leave
And you're so unhealthy, you're breakin' me
Messin' with my head
It feels like a bad dream
Yeah, and I wonder why I can't sleep
When you're here 'cause I know the monster
He ain't under the bed
'Cause he's in it with me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
[Chorus]
You always lie to me
Then you lie down with me, you won't leave
And you're so unhealthy, you're breakin' me
Messin' with my head (Oh)
It feels like a bad dream
And I wonder why I can't sleep
When you're here 'cause I know the monster
He ain't under the bed
'Cause he's in it with me
[Outro]

This song means a lot to me. Writing a song like ‘ Monster ‘ was a form of therapy and I hope it’s the same experience for my fans. We all deal with a monster in our lives and this song is a reminder that no matter what that struggle may be for you, you’re not alone.
