"Monsters"
[Chorus: Katie Sky]
I see your monsters, I see your pain.
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away.
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay.
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them all away.
[Verse 1: Cal]
A cup of coffee still steaming, staring back at me and it's blacker than the night, eh.
I'm awake but still sleeping, I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't).
And I know it can't get worse than today, sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say.
See, she's in the bathroom and hoping I'm not in earshot, while she's getting used to the sound of her teardrops.
Splash, it hits the towel and I know it's been awhile since you've seen me smile and laugh, like I used to.
I've been in denial since it happened, just take me to the past, cause I just can't imagine losing you, too.
I can't explain this so I keep it all inside, wear my pain but it's masked by my pride.
She came to hold me and she cried, told me this and she stared into my eyes and said...
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
I can't, you won't like what you see.
If you were in my head and had to hear my plea.
It's like, I can't believe this is happening to me.
And could someone please shut off this fucking answering machine, so I can stop leaving these messages that you will never get.
And all these cries for help you'll never see, you'll never check.
But I guess it's easy for you to leave me.
But believe me, see this isn't something that I'm a just forget.
I would trade it all for one more minute, don't you see I really need you to talk to.
Uh, I'm still sitting here wondering who did it, while I'm staring out our front door knowing you'll never walk through.
Said you'd come right back, now you're gone like that.
A blank stare as I stand so alone, I know you're never coming home. Damn.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Uh, I got a heart made of fools gold, got me feeling so cold.
They keep chipping away. All the promises I told, felt like I was on those, they keep slipping away.
I want nobody else, but it's hard to get to know me when I don't know myself.
And it helps cause I felt I was down, I was out, then you looked at me now and said...
[Chorus: Katie Sky]
I see your monsters, I see your pain.
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away.
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay.
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave...
I see your monsters, I see your pain.
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away.
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay.
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them all away.

'Before The Worst'
It's been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day that you walked
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
So explain to me, how it came to this
Take it back to the night we kissed
It was Dublin city on a Friday night
With vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night
We were sitting with our backs against the world
Saying things that we thought but never heard
Oh, who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Is trying to take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decide
It's time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let's try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
There was a time, that we'd stay up all night
Best friends, yeah, talking 'til the daylight
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to lose but so much to gain
Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss,
That you would drift on memory bliss
It was Grafton Street on a rainy night
I was down on one knee and you were mine for life
We were thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Oh, who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Is trying to take it back before it all went wrong
Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decide
It's time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let's try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
If the clouds don't clear
Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it
Heaven's gate is so near
Come walk with me through
Just like we used to, just like we used to
Let's take it back
Before it all went wrong
Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decide
It's time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let's try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
Let's try to take it back
Before it all went wrong
