The monster underneath the bed comes out again to play.
It pulls your hair and breaks your heartand you don’t like to play this way


It slithers it’s tongue and says it will never hurt you again,
but Foolish girl.
Don’t let him back in.

He’s lied this lie before.
You’ll believe what he says
And have to move on from him once more

And once you think you’ve gotten to a point where you are free,
A place where you can breathe.
You’ll run into his face again and the circle will repeat.

So next time you see a monster hiding underneath your bed
Say goodnight and close your eyes and rest your pretty head.
