Matchbox Twenty - Bed of Lies lyrics
[Matchbox Twenty - Bed of Lies lyrics]
No, I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin', I am
I don't think that I could
Take another empty moment
I don't think that I could
Fake another hollow smile
Well, it's not enough just to be lonely
I don't think that I could
Take another talk about it
And just like me, you've got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we've softly surrendered
To these lives that we have tendered away
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin', 'cause
I can
I don't want to be the one
Who turns the whole thing over
I don't want to be somewhere
Where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just to be sorry
Don't you know I feel
The darkness closing in?
I tried to be more than me
And I gave until it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part left of
These winters that we've made
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I am all that I'll ever be
When you lay your hands over me
And don't go weak on me, please
I know that it's weak
But God, help me, I need this
I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin', 'cause
I can
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin', I am
I don't think that I could
Take another empty moment
I don't think that I could
Fake another hollow smile
Well, it's not enough just to be lonely
I don't think that I could
Take another talk about it
And just like me, you've got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we've softly surrendered
To these lives that we have tendered away
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin', 'cause
I can
I don't want to be the one
Who turns the whole thing over
I don't want to be somewhere
Where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just to be sorry
Don't you know I feel
The darkness closing in?
I tried to be more than me
And I gave until it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part left of
These winters that we've made
But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I am all that I'll ever be
When you lay your hands over me
And don't go weak on me, please
I know that it's weak
But God, help me, I need this
I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out, and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learnin'
I'm marking it down to learnin', 'cause
