Timeflies Said you'd come right back I see your monsters And now you're gone like that I see your pain A blank stare as I stand so alone Tell me your problems And know you're never coming home (damn) I'll chase them away I see your monsters I'll be your lighthouse I see your pain I'll make it okay Tell me your problems When I see your monsters I'll chase them away I'll stand there so brave I'll be your lighthouse And chase them all away I'll make it okay A cup of coffee still steaming When I see your monsters Staring back at me, it's blacker than the night I'll stand there so brave I'm awake but still sleeping And chase them all away I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't) I got a heart made of fool's gold And I know it can't get worse than today Got me feeling so cold Sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say But you chipping away See, she's in the bathroom hoping I'm not in earshot All the promises that I told While she's getting used to the sound of a teardrop Felt like I was on those (Splash) But keep slipping away It hits the tile I want nobody else And I know it's been a while since you seen me But it's hard to get to know me Smile and laugh like I used to When I don't know myself I've been in denial since it happened And it helps Just take me to the past 'Cause I felt 'Cause I just can't imagine losing you (too) I was down, I was out I can't explain this so I'll keep it all inside Then you looked at me now Wear my pain, but it's masked by my pride And said She came to hold me and she cried Told me this as she stared into my eyes, said I see your monsters I see your pain I see your monsters Tell me your problems I see your pain I'll chase them away Tell me your problems I'll be your lighthouse I'll chase them away I'll make it okay I'll be your lighthouse When I see your monsters I'll make it okay I'll stand there so brave When I see your monsters I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave I see your pain And chase them all away Tell me your problems I can't I'll chase them away You won't like what you see I'll be your lighthouse If you were in my head and had to hear my pleas I'll make it okay It's like When I see your monsters I can't believe this is happening to me I'll stand there so brave And could someone please shut this fucking And chase them all away answering machine So I can start leaving these messages That you will never get And all these cries for help You'll never see and never check But I guess it's easy for you to leave me But believe me See this isn't something that Imma just forget I would trade it all for one more minute Don't you see I really need you to talk to I'm still sitting here wondering who did it
