lyrics

Sleep never comes easy
When you're dreaming of old love
So when you think I am completely wide-eyed
I'm dreaming free of
All those promises you made me
When we were lying in the dark
Back then I held them so tightly
Now I keep them far from my heart

So they won't keep on the light
And they won't eat at my insides
Thinking of the moments when we felt alive
Won't keep me up at night

Sleep never comes easy
Spooning ghosts in your bed
But all that's real are those new, white linens
And pillows just for one head

So they won't keep on the light
And they won't eat at your insides
Thinking of the moments when we felt alive
Won't keep you up at night
Thinking of the moments when we felt alive
Won't keep me up at night
