Close the door, don't feel like being open Leave a box of tissues by the bedI thought of you, still haunts me like an omen And I don't know exactly how we metThought I shook you long ago But I guess that's just how it goesFollow me here, follow me there You follow me homeSome days are just worse, I guess Thought I left you back in the pastThought I was done, trying to outrun But you're too fastSo I don't mess with my monsters No, I don't mess with my monstersNo, I don't mess with my monsters I call them friendsLooks like I got everything I wanted I'm finally making proud my mom and dadBut I go back to my one-room apartment And I would trade the dream for what they haveI know that I can't complain Cause really my life's okayBut every night I close the blinds to hide from my shameSome days are just worse, I guess Thought I left you back in the pastThought I was done, trying to outrun But you're too fastSo I don't mess with my monsters No, I don't mess with my monstersNo, I don't mess with my monsters I call them friendsOh, no I don't, no I don't Oh, no I don't, no I don'tRelease my monsters, don't leave me alone Yeah, I guess that's just how it goesAnd I'll never let you go Follow me here, follow me thereYou follow me home Some days are just worse, I guessI'll never escape my past Thought I was done, trying to outrunBut you're too fast So I don't mess with my monstersNo, I don't mess with my monsters No, I don't mess with my monstersI call them friendsI call them friends
