Sleeping With The Lights On

Like poetry, you said some things

Aren't I supposed to be, but me?

I have to just agree to disagree

Empty dresser drawer

You wore my sweater out the door

And poured my heart onto the floor

And all what for?

And in my head, ooh, you're still calling me up

And I'm still calling your bluff

You say it's not really done

I'm still the one that you want

But it's a dream that I lost

And I just can't turn it off, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off

On the darkest nights, I can hear you calling

From inside my mind, playing like a song

And it goes on and on, ever since you up and gone

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Flip the switch, everything gets heavy

And my mind's a bitch, playing all the memories

It goes on and on, ever since you up and gone

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Memories, they fill the wall

Like paint and nails and frames that fall

And break the smile beneath the window pane, 'ane, 'ane

Those sheets still smell like you

And your pistachio perfume

So I don't go back in that room

'Cause, what's the use?

And in my head, ooh, you're still calling me up

And I'm still calling your bluff

You say it's not really done

I'm still the one that you want

But it's a dream that I lost

And I just can't turn it off, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off

On the darkest nights, I can hear you calling

From inside my mind, playing like a song

And it goes on and on, ever since you up and gone

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Flip the switch, everything gets heavy

And my mind's a bitch, playing all the memories

It goes on and on, ever since you up and gone

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Lights on

Sleeping with the lights on

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

On the darkest nights, I can hear you calling

From inside my mind, playing like a song

And it goes on and on, ever since you up and gone

Sleeping with the lights on

Flip the switch, everything gets heavy

And my mind's a bitch, playing all the memories

It goes on and on, ever since you up and gone

I've been sleeping with the lights on
