## Theme

> *under my bed is very personal to me. it describes the feelings you go through after leaving a toxic relationship of any kind (love, friendship, family). the memory of that person can haunt you, and for me, it gets worse at night when i'm all alone with nothing but my thoughts. the feeling of not being able to let go of that person- and getting used to your new "normal" after they're out of your life- can be extremely confusing. guilt, depression, anxiety and insomnia can consume you. letting go is a bumpy path, and for me, the past memories holding me back felt like a "monster under my bed" for a long time.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

You slash me and stab me

A smile on your face

You rip out my heart

Just to watch how it breaks

You choose me to use me

And take out your pain

Your mistakes put me in my grave

**[Pre-Chorus]**

How am I supposed to feel when no one's keepin' track of me?

Stitches where my wounds will heal

A scar that has your memory

I keep the eyes in the back of my head open 24/7, remembering

Darker days, the devil's real

I've been to Hell and back again

**[Chorus]**

Help

There's a monster under my bed (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

And I think that he might want me dead

He said, if I let him go I'll regret

All of the damage he's done to my head

Help

There's a monster under my bed

And I think that he might want me dead

He said, if I let him go I'll regret

All of the damage he's done to my head

**[Verse 2]**

My bones won't stop breaking

You're throwing me stones

My teardrops are bloody

I'm here all alone

Your words are a sickness

They're stuck to my skull

On my own, with your lonely soul

**[Pre-Chorus]**

How am I supposed to feel when no one's keepin' track of me?

Stitches where my wounds will heal

A scar that has your memory

I keep the eyes in the back of my head open 24/7

Remembering, darker days, the devil's real

I've been to Hell and back again

**[Chorus]**

Help

There's a monster under my bed (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

And I think that he might want me dead

He said, if I let him go I'll regret

All of the damage he's done to my head

Help

There's a monster under my bed

And I think that he might want me dead

He said, if I let him go I'll regret

All of the damage he's done to my head
