Monsters

Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won′t read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has goneI'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is

I′m not your son
You're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive
No need to forget
I know your mistakes
And you know mine
And while you′re sleeping
I′ll try to make you proud
So daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don′t be afraid
It's my turn
To chase the monsters away

Oh, well I′ll read a story to you
Only difference is
This one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well
Don't be scared
The time has gone
So here it is

I′m not your son
You're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive
No need to forget
I know your mistakes
And you know mine
And while you′re sleeping
I′ll try to make you proud
So daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don′t be afraid
It's my turn
To chase the monsters away

Sleep a lifetime
Yes and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand
On your own
I will be the last one
So I′ll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness
In your heart

But I'm not your son
You′re not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive
No need to forget
I know your mistakes
And you know mine
And while you're sleeping
I′ll try to make you proud
So daddy, won′t you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid
It′s my turn
To chase the monsters away
