When i lay and try close blood eyes
When i lay and try to waste your time
You'll be sleeping
You'll be sleeping
When i lay and try to waste time
When i lay and try to have no time
You'll be sleeping
You'll be sleeping
I will never have guessed it
I would have record this
I will never have guessed it
But you have record this, so soon
You have record this, so soon
You'll be sleeping
You'll be sleeping
I would never have guessed it
I would have record this
I would never have guessed it
I would have record this, so soon
Would have record this, so soon
Would have record this, so soon
Would have record this, so soon
