[Intro]
I'm not afraid of monsters
But I'm afraid of myself
[Verse 1]
Promised me heaven, but this feels like hell
I can't get sleep, so I just tell myself
Can't get to heaven, so I stay in hell
I can't find peace, sometimes I hate this realm
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd like to think that I could be somebody else
If I were a star, I'd shoot away so far
Sometimes I find it hard to recognise myself
Like I'm an alien spaceship, crash, burn it
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid of monsters
But I'm afraid of myself
Stuck in an illusion
Crying for help
I'm not afraid of monsters
But I'm afraid of myself
Looking in the mirror
I tell myself
"Monsters, I'm not afraid"
[Post-Chorus]
Hey-hey (I'm not afraid, monsters)
(Monsters)
Hey-hey (I'm not afraid)
[Verse 2]
Promise me heaven, but this feels like hell
I'm in the deep, another rainy spell
I can't get to heaven, so I stay in hell
'Round and 'round on this carousel
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd like to think that I could be somebody else
If I were a star, I'd shoot away so far
Out of my head, I need time to digest
I need to tell myself to breathe
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid of monsters
But I'm afraid of myself
Stuck in an illusion
Crying for help
I'm not afraid of monsters
But I'm afraid of myself
Looking in the mirror
I tell myself
"Monsters, I'm not afraid"
[Bridge]
Hey-hey (I'm not afraid, monsters)
(Monsters)
Hey-hey (I'm not afraid)
(Monsters)
Hey-hey (I'm not afraid, monsters)
(Monsters)
Hey-hey (I'm not afraid)
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid of monsters
But I'm afraid of myself
Stuck in an illusion
Crying for help
I'm not afraid of monsters
But I'm afraid of myself
Looking in the mirror
I tell myself
"Monsters, I'm not afraid" (Ah)

Amy Love:
I feel like at some point or another, your mental health will challenge you, whether something in your life has caused you trauma or you realise something about yourself. Everyone can relate to that. When we write, we’re always looking inwards or at what we’re feeling that day, hoping tha...
