Lyrics

Sleeping Alone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Givin' the time to cut the rope

You tie the around me

Lookin' for other hands to hold

But nothing ever goes deep

I'm seein' your face, I'm hearin' your name

Everywhere I go

I'm not the only one to blame

'Cause I gave you more than I took

I heard your song on the radio yesterday

Stopped the car and turned around

In my head, still with you now

Are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

So, are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

I'm pickin' up the phone

But every time I got a lump

But every time I got a lump

In my throat, my throat

Are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

Gonna clear my mind

But I can only think of you

I know it's not my place

But does she know you like I do?

I need you to be honest

So I keep movin' on

Maybe if I know she's there

Swear I'm movin' on

I heard your song on the radio yesterday

Stopped the car and turned around

In my head, still with you now

Are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

So, are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

I'm pickin' up the phone

But every time I got a lump

But every time I got a lump

In my throat, my throat

Are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

Can't have you sleeping

Sleeping alone

I never want you sleeping

Sleeping alone

Can't have you sleeping

Sleeping alone

I never want you sleeping

Sleeping alone

Can't have you sleeping

Sleeping alone

I never want you sleeping

Sleeping alone

Can't have you sleeping

Sleeping alone

I never want you sleeping

Sleeping alone

Are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

So, are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

I'm pickin' up the phone

But every time I got a lump

But every time I got a lump

In my throat, my throat

Are you sleeping alone?

Are you sleeping alone?

'Cause I'm not ready, not ready

To be sleeping on my own

Can't have you sleeping

Sleeping alone

I never want you sleeping

Sleeping alone

Can't have you sleeping

Sleeping alone

I never want you sleeping

Sleeping alone
