♪ I've got all these demons hiding underneath ♪

♪ Nobody can see them, ♪

♪ nobody but me, and you're the reason ♪

♪ The only thing that keeps me ♪

♪ from diving off the deep end ♪

♪ Because I've got all these ♪

♪ demons, demons, demons, mhm ♪

♪ Well, at first I thought ♪

♪ I'll have to bear this weight by myself ♪

♪ But when my knees were getting weak ♪

♪ and I was in need of help ♪

♪ You were there to take away the pain that I felt, mhm ♪

♪ You're the only one that gave me hope ♪

♪ You're the only one who really knows ♪

♪ I've got all these demons hiding underneath ♪

♪ nobody but me, and you're the reason ♪

♪ The only thing that keeps me from diving off the deep end ♪

♪ Because I've got all these ♪

♪ demons, demons, demons, mhm ♪

♪ For a moment I thought maybe I was doing alright ♪

♪ So I took your love for granted ♪

♪ and I left you behind ♪

♪ I just didn't understand ♪

♪ you were what kept me alive, mhm ♪

♪ You forgave me and you gave me hope ♪

♪ Still, you're the only one who really knows ♪

♪ I've got all these demons hiding underneath ♪

♪ Nobody can see them, ♪
