[Verse 1]
Sinking like a deadweight in a hotel swimming pool
You left the house, and took the car, and left a note in our room
When you vanish, I stay like a child by the window
Waiting for you to come in and swear that you changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Days fade through to night, take off my clothes
Bodies side by side
Now the bedsheets feel like snow
[Chorus]
"Oh, God, I think it's fatal"
We scream across the table
Why turn the water into fire when you're the heart I cradle?
The stitches come undone
I'm lying bare, already torn
But, this time
I won't let the sleeping dogs lie
[Verse 2]
It's giving me a migraine (It's giving me a migraine)
'Cause you're twisting round my head
Like an acrobat, you're spinning further outta control
Don't think you're malicious (Don't think you're malicious)
Think it's just the way that you're wired
But I'm dying to fix you (I'm not qualified)
[Pre-Chorus]
Days fade through to night, take off my clothes
Bodies side by side
Now the bedsheets feel like snow
[Chorus]
"Oh, God, I think it's fatal"
We scream across the table
Why turn the water into fire when you're the heart I cradle?
The stitches come undone
I'm lying bare, already torn
But, this time
I won't let the sleeping dogs lie, lie
[Bridge]
Since when did bullets shoot from the mouth of an angel?
I'm bleeding out, you're in hysterics, we're unstable
Shells on the floor, neighbours listening through the walls
And, if she had to pick a side, I'm always nicer when she calls
Time and again, I hold on to you so tight
You pierce the skin, now my knuckles burning white
I thought we had it to a science, I thought we had it all
Turns out
I won't let the sleeping dogs lie
[Chorus]
"Oh, God, I think it's fatal"
We scream across the table
Why turn the water into fire when you're the heart I cradle?
The stitches come undone
I'm lying bare, already torn
But this time
I won't let the sleeping dogs—
"Oh, God, I think it's fatal"
We scream across the table
Why turn the water into fire when you're the heart I cradle?
The stitches come undone
Lying bear, already torn
But this time
I won't let the sleeping dogs lie
