David Cook - We're Only Honest When We're Sleeping lyrics

rate me

You're a broken thing

Your cracks are showing through

Your best attempts

At making nice with the world

So keep on dreaming

Cause someday soon the things that keep you at bay

Will fade away

Or so I've heard

We're only honest when we're sleeping

We're lying wide awake and dreaming

Wishing that we were someone else

This bed's as cold as hell

When you're lying next to me.

It's a twisted game

A brief & oft-repeating

Prose that never seems to resonate

Spin the finger of blame

It's always on the heart that kept on beating

While the other pulled up lame

We're only honest when we're sleeping

We're lying wide awake and dreaming

Wishing that we were someone else

This bed's as cold as hell

When you're lying next to me.

The ceiling paints a picture

And everything's a welcome work of art

Amidst the chaos in the mirror the lies in lipstick red

We're only honest when we're sleeping

We're lying wide awake and dreaming

Wishing that we were someone else

This bed's as cold as hell

We're only honest when we're sleeping

We're lying wide awake and dreaming

Wishing that we were someone else

This bed's as cold as hell

When you're lying next to me.
