You've been out there in the city What did you bring back for me? A vicious preoccupation with a darkness underneath? There's something empty now, In the way that you laugh. Is there something you're hiding? Oh, darlin' I'm afraid to ask.
Are you waking cause you're worried in the dead of the night? Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light? Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep? Tell me why you can't sleep.
I've been sitting here waiting, Stare out the window up the street. Watch strangers come around the corner, Hoping it was you I'd see. I pretend not to notice, The distance in your eyes, But when you pull me in closer, Smell cigarette smoke and lies.
Are you waking cause you're worried in the dead of the night? Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light? Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep? Tell me why you can't sleep.
You're not the only one who ever needed. Speak, scream it aloud, and shout down your demons. Lies make you weak and that's why you can't sleep.
Are you waking cause you're worried in the dead of the night? Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light? Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep? Tell me why you can't sleep.
