Sleeping Beauty Songtext

von Bella Hardy

Ghosts by my bed I see when I'm waking
And I sigh to my sister, I'd rather be sleeping
Last night I dived in the deep blue sea with a man that loved me

Why couldn't I stay Sleeping Beauty?
In the broad light of day how the ugly shows in me
With my soft eyes closed I was his perfection

But here I stand before you now with my eyes wide open

The day has turned sour and it's only 10.30
I'm flighty and I'm lusty, and as she said, hell's murky
We go out and we live and we roam, and then we bring the worst of ourselves home again

Wars, they are lost before they're begun
For battles, they never go to plan
I'm a disappointment from the moment I rise to the moment I close my eyes

But here I stand before you now with my eyes wide open

Beware those who want their women to be roses without thorns
For life's as much in kisses as it is in blood and grit
Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it
