Katy Perry – My Own Monster Song Lyrics

About Katy Perry: Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager. Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin. After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.

Lyrics:

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 So hold me close
For I’m so tired of holding myself
So very tired and tired
Tired and tired
Just hold me  I listen to these voices
Or is it this house that’s giving me chills
As I lie upon this little girls 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 So hold me close
For I’m so tired of holding myself
So very tired and tired
Tired and tired
Just hold me  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 So hold me close
For I’m so tired of holding myself
So very tired and tired
Tired and tired
Just hold me
