Bed Of Lies

Matchbox Twenty · Mad Season [2000]

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out of it and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I am



I don't think that I could take another empty moment

I don't think that I could fake another hollow smile

Well, it's not enough just to be lonely

I don't think that I could take another talk about it



And just like me, you've got needs

And they're only a whisper away

And we're softly surrendered

To these lives that we've tendered away



But I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out of it and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I'm marking it down to learning

Cause I can



I don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over

I don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong

Where it's not enough just to be sorry (sorry)

Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in



I tried to be more than me

And I gave until it all went away

And we're only surrendered

To the worst part of these winters that we've made



But I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out of it and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I'm marking it down to learning



I am all that I'll ever be

When you Lay your hands

Over me

And don't go weak on me please

I know that it's weak

But, God help me, I need this

I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out of it and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I'm marking it down to learning

Cause I can
