Gave you up long ago
But what if I need you again?
What if I need you again?
It's like the door will never close
It's hard not walking in
Hard not walking in
Peace never finds me when I'm falling asleep
I guess I'm afraid of the dark inside of me
There's a monster underneath my bed
And he pours nightmares inside my head
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Everyone thinks I'm stronger
But there's a monster
Underneath my bed
♪
Ever since you passed away
I got a bottle with your name
Saved it for a rainy day
And Lord, I swear I don't want to break
But I could use a taste
I guess things never change
And peace never finds me when I'm falling asleep
I guess I'm afraid of the dark inside of me
There's a monster underneath my bed
And he pours nightmares inside my head
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Everyone thinks I'm stronger
But there's a monster
Underneath my bed
♪
As I lay my head to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep me
Out of that damn old whiskey river
Out of that damn old whiskey river
If I die before I wake
At least you'll know my soul is safe
'Cause I'm prayin' to the Lord
"Come take that damn old monster away"
There's a monster underneath my bed
And he pours nightmares inside my head
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Everyone thinks I'm stronger
But there's a monster
There's a monster
Underneath my bed
