Hello all!
Would love your feedback on this one I'm working on. It's a ballad with a piano, I'll redo both if/when I record it for real. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated!
Maybe you don't think that I remember
The broken tables that we ran behind
Hiding from the demons of your temper
Four years old becoming old and wise
There's no sense believing in monsters
No need to search the closet or the bed
The worst one of them all calls me daughter
The monsters all live inside her head
I owe you everything
you're every reason why I run and hide
You are my everything
the reason I can't look you in the eye
Oh mother can't you see
how good I tried to be
You are my monster
say goodnight
Maybe I could pay someone to tell me
I deserved it all and you were right
But I can't find a doctor who can help me
And you won't let me go without a fight
I owe you everything
you're every reason why I run and hide
You are my everything
the reason I can't look you in the eye
Oh mother can't you see
how good I tried to be
You are my monster
say goodnight
Maybe in a million lifetimes
You and I can both forget
Everything you said never happened
So why haven't I healed yet?
I owe you everything
you're every reason why I run and hide
You are my everything
the reason I can't look you in the eye
Oh mother can't you see
how good I tried to be
You are my monster
say goodnight
Tuck me into bed and say goodnight
Don't check under the bed and say goodnight
You are my monster, say goodnight
