Lyrics
When You Are Asleep
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.
I wonder if you can see
If you can see the secret that I keep
Are you the one for me
I wonder how much longer I
can keep pretending that I'm there by your side
You're alone when you're with me
The truth is buried deep
Beneath the mask you see
At night I wake and weep
But only when you are asleep
I'm waiting for the day
when you'll go down on your knees and say ‘Will you marry me?'
That day is what I live to see
Why must I be this kind of guy
who never dares to look straight into your eyes
The truth would make you cry
So I'll leave it up to you
I'll treat you worse and worse 'til you're forced to go
My love for you has grown cold
The truth is buried deep
Beneath the mask you see
At night I wake and weep
But only when you are asleep
