Monsters

Oh
Before they turn off all the lights
I won’t read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone

I’ll tell you good night, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is

I’m not your son
You’re not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive
No need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you’re sleeping
I’ll try to make you proud
So Daddy, won’t you just close your eyes
Don’t be afraid
It’s my turn to chase the monsters away

Oh
I’ll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone

I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don’t be scared
The time has gone
So here it is

I’m not your son
You’re not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive
No need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you’re sleeping
I’ll try to make you proud
So Daddy, won’t you just close your eyes
Don’t be afraid
It’s my turn to chase the monsters away

Sleep a lifetime
Yes and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your arm

I will be the last one
So I’ll leave you the light on
Let there be no darkness in your heart

But I’m not your son
You’re not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive
No need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you’re sleeping
I’ll try to make you proud
So Daddy, won’t you just close your eyes
Don’t be afraid
It’s my turn to chase the monsters away.
