I think I'm gonna close my eyes
And go to sleep for days (And go to sleep for days)
And go to sleep for days and days
I'll fall apart
And wait for you in vain (And wait for you in vain)
And wait for you in vain cause
I never want to die
I'm just content to close my eyes
Sleep, sleep it off
In my dreams the world won't spin
And my lungs don't fill with sin
Sleep, sleep it off
And never feel the pain of love
Or the burden of another heart
verse 2
I'm falling apart
Waiting on another one to wake me up
And I'm never gonna try again
To meet the needs you ask of me
I'm gonna bury this heart
Sleep, sleep it off
In my dreams the world won't spin
And my lungs don't fill with sin
Sleep, sleep it off
And never feel the pain of love
Or the burden of another heart

I know this isn't what you want
But it's what I need
I know this isn't what you want
But it's what I ask
I know this isn't what you want
But it's what I need
I know this isn't what you want
But it's what I ask
I know this isn't what I want
But it's what I need
I know this is what you want
Cause it's what you need
Sleep, sleep it off
And wake up to the winds of change
Feel the joys of my embrace
Sleep, sleep it off
Cause son I need your heart again
To feel the burden of another heart
