While You Were Sleeping

So far away
From the place where I feel safe
I can't recall
The beauty in your face
The distance between us
Sows it dirty seeds
Spreading inside of me
With every breath I breathe
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
A stranger for the night
So I don't wake up alone
To fake what we had
But it doesn't feel like home
The distance between us
Grows it's dirty seeds
Consuming my insides
With every breath I breathe
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
Don't look for me, don't wait for me
I've found my path
Over sticks and stones, over broken bones
I won't look back
There's a place for you somewhere in my heart
But that's the past
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
