I got monsters
But they ain't the kind that hide underneath your bed
Only ever to come out at night
I got history, but you won't find it in a book
Just a couple songs is all the notes
About it that I ever took
I got good friends
But they ain't the kind you'd want to introduce your sister to
But they'll have your back every time
I got you, babe
But I can't comprehend how you could love a man
Who can't love himself, his soul is always on the mend
And I've always looked for someone who could understand
My mistakes in life taught me about who I am
But you understand
I don't know why you stick around
But honey, I don't mind
You keep my feet on the ground and my head held up high
Girl, I hope you never say goodbye
You got brown eyes that are as bright as you are sharp
They light your face and the surrounding space
Like Roman candles in the dark
And you lit me
Like a Camel cigarette
I illuminate a speck of sky and all our dreams inside of it
And I've always looked for someone to make a man out of me
And it ain't fair to you
But I'm so glad that you believe in me
I don't know why you stick around
But honey, I don't mind
You keep my feet on the ground and my head held up high
Girl, I hope you never say goodbye
You were broken, but not as broke as I
And mending you, you mended me until our fears were all defied
They say pain heals with time
Girl, we got the rest of our lives
I don't know why you stick around
But honey, I don't mind
You keep my feet on the ground and my head held up high
Girl, I hope you never say goodbye
Darling, please don't ever say goodbye
