Katy Perry — My Own Monster

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] So hold me close For I'm so tired of holding myself So very tired and tired, tired and tired Just hold, hold me close For I'm so tired of holding myself So very tired and tired, tired and tired Just hold me [Verse 2] I listen to these voices Or is it this house that's giving me chills As I lie upon this little girl's 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 [Chorus] So hold me close For I'm so tired of holding myself So very tired and tired, tired and tired Just hold, hold me close For I'm so tired of holding myself So very tired and tired, tired and tired Just hold me [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] So hold me close For I'm so tired of holding myself So very tired and tired, tired and tired Just hold, hold me close For I'm so tired of holding myself So very tired and tired, tired and tired, and tired and tired, and tired and tired Oh, so tired and tired, tired and tired Just hold me, hold me close For I'm so tired of holding myself So very tired and tired, tired and tired Just hold me, oh, oh I am so tired Oh Lord, I'm so tired Oh, oh [Outro] Hold me Me, me
