James Blunt - Monsters Lyrics
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
The time has gone
So here it is
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?
To chase the monsters away
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
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
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
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

James Blunt Monsters Comments
Twelve years ago when I was fifteen and my older sister was nineteen our mom passed away after more than two months sick, laying on her bed. She literally passed away on our hands. We used that time together to talk many issues. The most Strong words about life my mom delivered to me on that painfull moment. She prepared us on just two months how to continue living without her. We took care on her, I used to dress her when my sister wasnt there, that was our turns to chase monsters away... She made me a man on just that two months more than previous 15 years.
I regreat not being such good boy previsiolly, and the most important I still miss my mother.
A great song, and so sad as it does reminds me of of dad so much, missed him so much
one of my teachers said last week if we are gonna do brook green got talent before xmas and if we wanna make all the teachers cry then we should sing this song x
Geniusz !💕♥️💔
This song gave me one of those cries where you couldn't hold the tears back and you get a massive head ache afterward. Good job buddy
2020 anyone ✅👍?
Powerful song. Makes me reconnect to memories of my dad, painful but important.
What a song. Everything comes from the heart. Big hugs for anyone going through sadness and stress, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
This is so sad and sorrow. But I still adore you James Blunt. 😘😘👍👍✌✌👏👏👌👌
😭Ohhhh my Gosh
My dad died 2 years ago and I thought I'd got over it. Then I listened to this and the tears are streaming down my face and I'm remembering all the things I wish I had told him before the end.
Thank you James for a wonderful song.
I lost my brother on the 23/12/19 heard this and thought of him straight away the relationship with my brother and dad isn't good. This song is amazing really touched my heart xxxx
i have never met my real father. i have been waiting him almost 15 years.
if i will never know the truth about him i will be half always. i´m like a puzzle that is missing only one part.
one part is that one word that would make me full again.
and that one word is his name.
my daddys name
its so painful how underated James is and he is an amazing artist
To my dad....
I will allways try to make you proud
So his dad's dying and he wants to find a donation for a liver but the only one on the list is him and they fell out for years and they started talking again
I was the one to tell my Dad it was ok to go to the light now. Hardest thing you will do.
I lost my dad three weeks ago after a long battle with illness. I held his hand until he went cold, he was my hero. This song speaks to me in volumes, we're just two grown men saying goodbye ♥️
My aunt died 2 years ago this song always hits me😢
I cried when I heard this song, and my dad said he wants this played at his funeral
How people choked to this one
I'm not crying... there's something in my eye
OMG I am BAWLING 😭😭😭 myself & my siblings lost our parents a few years apart a few years ago & WoW this really pokes the "Feels"
Pure poetry
Such a good singer especially as he dousent use auto tune
Until I heard this song it was always 'The Living Years' by Mike and the Mechanics which got me thinking about my late dad. Two great songs. One great dad.
Blunt is still Sharp.
This song is beating in my soul as I'm watching my father, and my hero my best friend fading in front of me, it skips a beat in pain at the thought of him been called home above 😢
Simply......beautiful
Very deep but Brilliant James. I lost dad a week before my birthday in September 2013 from smell cell lung cancer. I miss him like hell our pub crawls real bonding time. Thanks James for sharing something so personal. 🙏
close your eyes and imagine James singing this song with Rod Steward...
Perfect
lost my Dad in February this song describes everything
to my dad
i will always love you to my little brother I love you too
This song is so lovely! It’s been a year since my dad died and I miss him so very much. He was not just my father, he was my friend and work colleague as well. We were so close. I love him so much, it breaks my heart! I’m finding it hard to accept he’s no longer here even though it’s been year November just gone.
Nineteenth Christmas with out you dad,it’s cold out here the hearts of men colder than winter.But memories of you keep us warm.Forever loved.Rest on dad.
Heard him sing this live today on Ken Bruce's show,had to pull over,crying my eyes out 😢
Also listened on Ken's show. Touched me deeply.
I’m not the greatest James Blunt fan to be honest but oh hell this is an incredible track !!
Heard this for the first time today on Radio 2. Made me cry.
Likewise..
This is superb and deeply moving .Who could fail to be moved by the honesty and love in this .?
I’m just welling up after listening to this. Well written James and thank you.
anybody else cried while listening this song?
playing this song at my dads service
They will be always some mysterious feelings whenever listen to you James blunt!!! The most underrated artist
This cuts deep.
My father had strokes, dementia (in-and-out of reality) and finally aspiration pneumonia while at the hospital. Met with the doctors to discuss how we should handle his final care and agreed that with his struggling to breathe and the agony of suctioning his lungs that morphine would be the most gentle way we could let him go. A couple days later, the hospital called to say it was time. I knew his mistakes, he knew mine; we were two grown men saying goodbye. 2 decades later "Monsters" resonates within me.
My dad is just fine, but listening to this song breaks me from my inside, I literally feel as if this was my actual situation, Great artist, Amazing song
This song hits in unimaginable ways!
James I'm in love with your songs 😭😭😭😭😭😭💜💜💜💜💜
Love it! Love all your raw songs! Keep them coming, please 😁
Thanks James for this long awaited album (the bestest) for me and love all the songs.
Some gay men all over the world could listen to this and feel something a bit different from straight men who are or will be fathers. Would appreciate you, James.
I am straight.Why discriminate?My father died two years ago.We were not close. The one who chased my monsters away was my ragged eared cat.He was there for me when nobody else could reach me. He slept in my arms at Easter this year and slipped away into the dreamless sleep.This will be my first December in 18 years without his living presence. I love him then and now.
Jaka życiowa i prawdziwa jest ta piosenka 😭 ❤❤❤❤
You anormal you monster
My grandad died when I was 2 I'm 10 now and this really hurts my dad
My uncle died a week back. He was a leading figure for me. Miss him more than ever. I dedicate this song to him😭
Less than 1mln views?
How is it possible?
Just found out tonight my fathers time is near to close his eyes and I've been playing this the last two weeks 😥
The best James Blunt album ever! Can't stop hearing it! The best album of the year and 'monsters' is its best song! Please come to Brazil's capitol (Brasília) for a concert!!
Phenomenal track, very touching. I haven't lost anyone yet but it still hits me so hard 😭
Me parece increíble que ésta canción no tenga ni el millón de visitas... Con lo preciosa que es...
Just lost my father heard this song broke down sobbing my heart out i stroked my fathers arm and kissed him goodbye before i left the room he took his final breath i will never forget my hero
OH MY GOD.. THIS SO HITS ME😭😢😢
I heard his song today on radio & it reminded me of the time my father was dying of dementia & other illnesses. I used to put him to sleep like a child at times. God bless you James Blunt as I can relate to every emotion in yr words. I hope yr father gets better soon.

Please help Me whoever sees this get views for this video of a Woman in an UNBELIEVABLY tragic situation.
She is agoraphobic and gets spasms in Her spine whenever experiencing stress, currently bedbound and disabled She has been through a hell of a time, She has been through one of the worst parental alienation situations, She has very bad PTSD because of having been threatened by a psychopath, and is actually at risk from this dangerous Person currently. It is truly TRAGIC.
I could go on and on, She has had a miscarriage because of these things, She needs a doctor but the agoraphobia makes that impossible, this is not simply mild fear this is dangerous levels of stress She is experiencing. Please show love and prevent Her from ending up on the streets, She would not survive if that is what happens, please help Me, please please get this comment seen. Give a thumbs up to bring attention to this video, hopefully on the community page. it could save a life, and People can donate so She can serve this world and care for Her children
This is Her video, I know if You can donate You should and if You cannot please share atleast and thumbs up so that the algorithm can get this video out with the motive She has to be saved

This played during the Remembrance Parade in England, not a dry eye in the square 🇬🇧
That’s beautiful 😭😭😭😭
188 people who are completely lost.... how can you dislike this you're heartless
This song, these lyrics. 😢
There are other songs for functional families that are beautiful too.
But this song; I relate to.
My dad died April 15th. Grieving the loss of the only man I ever called dad even though he was my adoptive father and largely no good at fathering by any stretch of the imagination has been the roller coaster ride of my life.
Thank you for this.

James blunt just keeps getting better and better. I love every album he's ever put out. This one is tops.
This should be the song that plays as pewdiepie leaves Sven everything in his will and sacrifices himself to end suffering and give eternal peace
WHO ELSE STRAIGHT REMEMBERED THEIR FATHER AND START RELIVING THE BEST MEMORIES WITH OF YOUR FATHER AFTER LISTENING TO THE THIS MASTERPIECE
This geezer is a fucking genious
My mom took her own life when I was 16. We had such a fight the night before.....I never had time to apologise. It's been 26 years later and the heartache is even more....
