Lyrics

Sleeping with Ghosts (Acoustic)

How do I say this
I think I was wrong
Looking back now
It could've been love
And I've been up sleeping
With your ghost every night
I wake up cold in the morning
With no arms holding me tight

'N' darling please stand back now
I'm about to explode
Baby keep your distance
You don't wanna know

Here we go
Someone you'll never really know
Oh, I'm up late sleeping with your ghost

Darling I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
I strung you along
But look how it all worked out
You got your own damn song

And I've been not sleeping
I'm dreaming of you
I wake up cold in the morning
Like what the fuck did I do

So darling please stand back now
I'm about to explode
An' baby keep your distance
You don't wanna know

Here we go
Someone you'll never really know
Oh, I'm up late sleeping with your ghost
I'll break your heart before you can break mine
(I'll break your heart, I'll break your heart)
I'll break your heart before you can break mine

I'll break your heart, I'll break your heart, I'll break your heart
I'll break your heart, I'll break your heart, I'll break your heart
