Song information
No instrument version of DBall singing the song. Blunt's version has a much higher register. This sounds nothing like Karen Carpenter.

James Blunt's song "Monsters" is a deeply personal and emotional tribute to his father, who was battling stage 4 chronic kidney disease at the time the song was written. The song explores themes of loss, grief, and saying goodbye. In "Monsters," Blunt expresses his feelings of helplessness and sorrow, addressing his father directly and telling him that it's okay to let go and that he doesn't need to fight anymore. The song's poignant lyrics and Blunt's heartfelt delivery make it a powerful and moving piece.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you "I love you" once more
The time has gone, so here it is

[Chorus]
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away

[Verse 2]
Oh, well I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone, so here it is

[Chorus]
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away

[Bridge]
Sleep a lifetime
Yes and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness in your heart

[Chorus]
But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
