Lyrics[]
So far away
From the place where I feel safe
I can't recall
The beauty in your face
The distance between us
Sows its dirty seeds
Spreading inside of me
With every breath I breathe
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
A stranger for the night
So I don't wake up alone (All alone)
To fake what we had (To fake)
But it doesn't feel like home
The distance between us
Grows its dirty seeds
Consuming my insides
With every breath I breathe
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping (While you were sleeping)
Tryin' to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
Don't look for me don't wait for me
I found my path (While you were sleeping)
Over sticks and stones over broken bones
I won't look back (While you were sleeping)
There's a place for you somewhere in my heart
But that's the past
While you were sleeping (While you were sleeping)
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping (While you were sleeping)
Trying to fill the void you've left (Tonight)
Life is short and the nights are long (Tonight)
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
