Monsters

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

Before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
Time is gone
I'll tell you, "Goodnight", close the door
Tell you, "I love you" once more
Time is 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

Well, I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
Time is gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
Time is 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

Live 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

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
