Sleep Instead of Teardrops Lyrics

Cry, cry out your eyes forever
It won't go away
I, I'm just a dumb observer
It's so stupid what I say

Like everyone else will do I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel but some day you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

And so, nobody lives forever,
The crassest of cliches
Like time, time is the greatest healer
But it's a murderer today

Like everyone else will do I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel but some day you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes

You know my holding you won't change anything
I can't stop this whole charade continuing
As each consoling kiss remains on your face like a stain

So cry, cry out those tears
And let them succumb to gravity
And try, try as I might
I'll never fill that vacancy

Like everyone else will do I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel but some day you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
Someday you're gonna wake up with sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes.
