Do you hear me when I call your name
The world I'm in now doesn't feel the same
I'm not scared of the dark like I used to be
But there's a darkness now I feel inside of me
You used to chase the shadows from my room
Hold me close and promise they'd be gone soon
But these shadows don't hide beneath the bed
They echo through the silence in my head
You fought the monsters under my bed
Now help me fight the monsters inside my head
They're quiet but they never let me rest
Help me believe I can be my best
You once fought the monsters under my bed
Now help me fight the monsters inside my head
I've learned the world isn't always kind
It leaves scars you can't see just in your mind
I try to be strong but I feel so small
Like I'm still that child afraid to fall
You told me that courage is facing the fear
But some days the darkness feels so near
The monsters I fight are harder to see
But I need you to stand and fight them with me
You fought the monsters under my bed
Now help me fight the monsters inside my head
They're quiet but they never let me rest
Help me believe I can be my best
You once fought the monsters under my bed
Now help me fight the monsters inside my head
I still see the strength in your eyes
The one who taught me how to survive
Teach me to face the dark unafraid
To find the light you always made
But now I'm older and the nights feel long
The monsters are quiet but they're just as strong
They don't live in closets or beneath my bed
They hide in the corners of my restless head
You fought the monsters under my bed
Now help me fight the monsters inside my head
They're quiet but they never let me rest
Help me believe I can be my best
You once fought the monsters under my bed
Now help me fight the monsters inside my head
Please stay near, don't fade away
I need your voice to show me the way
The girl you held in the dark is still here
Help me believe there's nothing to fear
Hold my hand like you did before
Tell me I'm braver than I think and more
If you leave I'll have to face them alone
I still need you to learn to fight on my own
