Monsters (Acoustic) - James Blunt

You've got no place to hide And I'm feeling like a villain Got a hunger inside One look in my eyes And you're running 'cause I'm coming Gonna eat you alive Your heart hits like a drum The chase has just begun Monsters stuck in your head Monsters under your bed We are, we are monsters, ooh-oh We are, we are monsters, ooh One misstep, you're mine And you better stay clever if you wanna survive Once you cross the line You'll be wishing you would listen when you meet your demise Your heart hits like a drum The hunt has just begun Monsters stuck in your head Monsters under your bed We are, we are monsters, ooh-oh We are, we are monsters, ooh We never shoot to stun We're kings of the killing, we're out for blood We'll take them one by one We're kings of the killing, we're out for blood We never shoot to stun We're kings of the killing, we're out for blood We'll take them one by one We're kings of the killing, we're out for blood Monsters stuck in your head Monsters under your bed We are, we are monsters, ooh-oh We are, we are monsters, ooh Monsters stuck in your head Monsters under your bed

Baby, I know you can not hear me now 'Cause you're fast asleep But I love you now Colors inside your head go spinning around Like a ferris wheel Exploding and falling to the ground Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming My baby, she's dreaming Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking I'm just staring at the ceiling Waiting for the feeling Oh, oh but when she calls I know that she's the one Makes me want her harder Makes me want to be a little stronger Still I see monsters Still I see monsters Baby, I know you cannot hear me now 'Cause you're flying around At the speed of sound Colors inside your head go spinning around Like a ferris wheel Exploding and falling to the ground Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming My babies, she's dreaming Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking I'm just staring at the ceiling Waiting for the feeling Oh, oh when she calls I know that she's the one Makes me want it harder Makes me want to be a little stronger Still I see the monsters Still I see the monsters

All this time wasted and all this time gone You are still waitin' on me Every time you leave the house Remember you're not safe But you are hardly ever And all those times that I could swear I heard you speak You spoke in such a low voice Of how if you could choose, you would choose not to feel 'Cause you are hardly ever happy Sometimes I find myself standing in those stairs With eyes so blank and unsure Realizing this is not where I want to be And not where I want to go And I don't mean to somehow, always to disagree But I feel that you do not see In order to love, you have to be all you can be And mostly, you have to love yourself Oh, with all this time wasted and all this time gone You are still waitin' on me Oh, but if I could choose, I would choose not to feel 'Cause I am hardly ever happy I am hardly ever happy, hmm-mm Hmm-mm I am hardly ever happy

I am sorry this is always how it goes The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed But I never changed a single colour that I breathe So you could have tried to take a closer look at me I am tired of punching in the wind I am tired of letting it all in And I should eat you up and spit you right out I should not care but I don't know how So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong I am sorry for the trouble, I suppose My blood runs red but my body feels so cold I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea But in the end the waves will discolour me So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs Because they remind me of how it all went wrong And I leave in my heart Because I don't want to stay in the dark So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs Because they remind me how it all went wrong But I leave in my heart Because I don't want to stay in the dark

Oh, before they turn off all the lights I won't read you your wrongs or your rights The time has come I'll tell you goodnight, close the door I'll tell you I love you once more The time has come, 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 While you're sleepin', 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, dear Francis, 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 While you're sleepin', 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 the light on Let there be no darkness in your heart 'Cause 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 While you're sleepin', 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
