There's a monster in the closet
Something's under my bed
I worry every evening
That I just might wake up dead
They say I am being silly
I should think nice thoughts instead
But when the light's just right
These things just pop into my head

All of these years and it's still the same (still the same)
I had to grow up, but it's still the same
I had to let go, it's still the same (still the same)
I can't let it show, it's still the same (still the same)
It's still the same
It's still the same

There's a monster deep inside you (deep inside)
And it needs to be fed (ah, ah ah, ah ah)
Now when I look at you
I see the monster there instead, oh!

All of these years and it's still the same (still the same)
I had to grow up, but it's still the same
I had to let go, it's still the same (still the same)
I can't let it show, it's still the same (still the same)
It's still the same
It's still the same
Still the same, still the same
