Lonely & Holy & Monster (Live at the 2020 American Music Awards) - Justin Bieber/Shawn Mendes

Everybody knows my name now

But somethin' 'bout it still feels strange

Like lookin' in a mirror tryna steady yourself

And seein' somebody else

And everything is not the same now

It feels like all our lives have changed

Maybe when I'm older it'll all calm down

But it's killin' me now

What if you had it all

But nobody to call

Maybe then you'd know me

'Cause I've had everything

But no one's listening

And that's just oh so lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely

Lo-o-o-onely

Everybody knows my past now

Like my house was always made of glass

And maybe that's the price you pay

For the money and fame at an early age

And everybody saw me sick

And it felt like no one gave a s**t

They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid

What if you had it all

But nobody to call

Maybe then you'd know me

'Cause I've had everything

But no one's listening

And that's just oh so lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely

Lo-o-o-onely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely

Lo-o-o-onely

I hear a lot about sinners

Don't think that I'll be a saint

But I might go down to the river

'Cause the way that the sky opens up when we touch

Yeah it's makin' me say

That the way you hold me

Hold me hold me hold me hold me

Feels so holy holy holy holy holy

On God

Runnin' to the altar like a track star

Can't wait another second

'Cause the way you hold me

Hold me hold me hold me hold me

Feels so holy

I don't do well with the drama

And no I can't stand it being fake

No no no no no no no no

I don't believe in nirvana

But the way that we love in the night gave me life

Baby I can't explain

That the way you hold me

Hold me hold me hold me hold me

Feels so holy holy holy holy holy

On God

Runnin' to the altar like a track star

Can't wait another second

'Cause the way you hold me

Hold me hold me hold me hold me

Feels so holy

They say we're too young and

The pimps and the players say "Don't go crushin'"

Wise men say fools rush in

But I don't know

They say we're too young and

The pimps and the players say "Don't go crushin'"

Wise men say fools rush in

But I don't know

'Cause the way you hold me

Hold me hold me hold me hold me

Feels so holy holy holy holy holy

On God

Runnin' to the altar like a track star

Can't wait another second on God

Runnin' to the altar like a track star

On God

Runnin' to the altar like a track star

Can't wait another second

'Cause the way you hold me

Hold me hold me hold me hold me

Feels so holy

You put me on a pedestal and tell me I'm the best

Raise me up into the sky until I'm short of breath

Yeah

Fill me up with confidence I say what's in my chest

Spill my words and tear me down until there's nothin' left

Rearrange the pieces just to fit me with the rest

But what if I what if I trip

What if I what if I fall

Then am I the monster

Just let me know

And what if I what if I sin

And what if I what if I break

Then am I the monster

Yeah

Just let me know yeah

I was fifteen when the world put me on a pedestal

I had big dreams of doin' shows and making memories

Made some bad moves tryin' to act cool upset by their jealousy uh

Liftin' me up

Liftin' me up

And tearin' me down

Tearin' me down

I'll take responsibility for everything I've done

Holdin' it against me like you're the holy one

Yeah

I had a chip on my shoulder had to let it go

'Cause unforgiveness keeps them in control

I came in with good intentions then I let it go

And now I really wanna know

What if I what if I trip

What if I what if I fall

Then am I the monster

Just let me know

And what if I what if I sin

Oh

And what if I what if I break

Yeah

What if I break

Then am I the monster

Just let me know

Oh please just let me know yeah

La-da-da-duh-duh

What if I fall

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na

La-da-da-da-duh-duh

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na

La-da-da-duh-duh

Please don't let me fall

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na

La-da-da-da-duh-duh

Oh please don't let me fall

Oh please don't let me fall yeah

La-da-da-duh-duh-duh-na
