Nightmare lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a nightmare in my closet, never went away
And all the times I watched it slowly growing up afraid
Who was scared to turn and look when I was safe in bed?
Was it there for me that had the ghastly monster's head?

[Verse 2]
If a nightmare in my closet really did exist
Who grew up and noticed that the other one was missed?
Who was scared to turn and look when I was safe in bed?
Was it there for me that had the ghastly monster's head?

[Chorus]
Were you the creature?
Please, won't you tell me?
Oh

[Verse 3]
There's a nightmare in my closet, it's never gone away
More and now, I've noticed that I'm growing up afraid
Who was scared to turn and look when I was safe in bed?
Was it there for me that had the ghastly monster's head?
