Text: Darren Smith And Terrance Zdunich. Let The Monster Rise.

Didn't I tell you not to go out, didn't I?

You did, you did

Didn't I say the world was cruel, didn't I?

You did, you did

So tell me how this happened
Where I went wrong
Tell me why
Can we just go home shy
And forget this dreadful night?

Didn't you say that you were different, didn't you?

I am, I am

Say you aren't that person, say it

I am, I am

Then tell me how to act, Dad
What to say, Dad
Tell me why
All you've ever told me
Every word is a lie

Didn't I build a house, a home, didn't I?

You did, you did

Didn't I raise her all alone, didn't I?

You did, you did

And Riley took my Shilo, stole my morning
He's to blame
If I can't be the father
Then let the monster rise
