I'm tired of how not sleeping feels
Scared of the monsters in my closet that seem so real
So I go to my dad and I wake him up as he comes to my room
He says my son please don't be afraid
Let's go and check it out so you get sleep before it's day
So I walk to my closet door with buckling knees and fear in my heart
Then he swings it open wide and there are no monsters there inside
And he looks back to me and says
My son oh you're okay you'll live to face another day
Finally you can rest just lay your head upon my chest
The monsters you thought were real they weren't what was really true
But I'll tell you what is real tonight is that I love you
Fast forward I'm 22 I'm still scared of monsters yeah it's true
They keep me up at night I run and try to hide
I'm insecure all I do is think
Did I do enough? If I step will I sink?
I'm anxious and alone at least I'm convinced that's so
Then a voice that's never far
He whispers to my fearful heart and he says
My son oh you're okay you'll live to face another day
Finally you can rest just lay your head upon my chest
The monsters you thought were real they weren't what was really true
But I'll tell you what is real tonight is that I love you
I've heard that perfect love it kicks out fear
But in my heart that truth isn't always so clear
So when I feel I'm gonna run I hear him say my son
My son oh you're okay you'll live to face another day
Finally you can rest just lay your head upon my chest
The monsters you thought were real they weren't what was really true
But I'll tell you what is real tonight oh I'll tell you what is real tonight
It's my son that you're okay you'll live to face another day
Finally you can rest just lay your head upon my chest
The monsters you thought were real they weren't what was really true
But I'll tell you what is real tonight is that I love you
It's that I love you
My son oh I love you
