Squeeze - Crying in my sleep lyrics

rate me

(Difford/Tilbrook)

Breaking up

Is breaking my heart

Is showing me the door

And if I get it open

I'll discover that there's much more to life than this

As I hit the wall with the full force of my fist

I concede this time to defeat

I keep crying in my sleep

Dear boy, poor boy

I keep crying in my sleep

Breaking up

Is making me see

Inside myself again

And if I can keep looking

Inside then I might change the things that I fear

It keeps my heart awake and stops the tears.

My nights are incomplete

I keep crying in my sleep

The sound of her voice

The sound of her words

I hear every breath

Each whisper is heard

But it's so hard now

Now she is gone

Everything I did I did wrong

I keep crying in my sleep

And if I turn full circle

Perhaps I'll see that the road ahead is clear

When the world that's on my shoulder disappears.

At night the footsteps creak

I keep crying in my sleep
