Lyrics Katy Perry – My Own Monster

I turn my head, there’s nothing there
All I own is my thoughts for my fears
I close the door to keep out the bad
I plug my ears to keep out these fears

And I cry

So hold me close
For I’m so tired of holding myself
So very tired and tired
Tired and tired
Just hold me

I listen to these voices
Or is it this house that’s giving me chills
As I lie upon this little girls bed?
Who’s at the door? Who’s walking near?
Or has my imagination spilled?
This little girl all grown up still fears

Oh, and I cry

So hold me close
For I’m so tired of holding myself
So very tired and tired
Tired and tired
Just hold me

Where can I go, where can I hide
from these evil sufferings?
Oh, these images painted on my walls
They say there’s a place that I can
hide in the shadow of your wings
Oh Lord, bring me to this place of refuge

No more tears

So hold me close
