lyrics

The monsters underneath your bed keep you up at night. The ghosts you took on as a kid weren't the last to haunt you. And I can shine a brighter light to the corners of your room, but I can't hold you every night while you scare yourself to sleep. Find your courage where you fell. You're so much stronger than yourself. Your darkest days, you feel afraid, you know that I can't leave you alone. Your darkest days, you feel afraid, you know that I can't leave you alone. The drama plays inside your mind like a child's nightmare. You fear you only fall behind and the world's against you. But I can give some words to mend, from the nights I slept alone. But I can't let myself pretend that words will help you sleep. I can't leave you alone. I can shine a brighter light but I can't hold you every night. And I can give some words to mend, but I can't let myself pretend. I can't leave you alone.
