My Own Monster

Katy Perry

I turn my head
There's nothing there
All I own is my thoughts
For my fears
I close the door
To keep out the bad
I plug my ears
To keep out these fears

And I cry

R: So hold me close
   for I'm so tired
   of holding myself
   So very tired
   And tired
   tired and tired
   Just hold me

I listen to these voices
or is it this house
that's giving me chills,
As I lie upon
This little girls bed
Who's at the door?
Who's walking near?
Or has
My imagination spilled?
This little girl
All grown up still fears

Oh and I cry

R: So hold me close... (2x)

Where can I go
Where can I hide
from these evil sufferings?
Oh these images
Painted on my walls
They say there's a place
That I can hide
in the shadow of your wings
Oh Lord, bring me
To this place of refuge

No more tears.

R: So hold me close... (4x)
