While You Were Sleeping
Ke$ha · Other Songs - Ke$ha
So far away, from the place where I feel safe
I can't recall, the beauty in your face
The distance between us it sews its dirty seed
spreading inside of me with every breath i breathe
While you were sleepin I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping, tryin to fill the void you left
Life is short and the nights are long, and tonight
I moved on while you were sleepin.
A stranger for the night so I don't wake up alone(all alone)
to fake what we had, 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 sleepin, I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleepin, tryin to fill the void you left
life is short and the nights are long, and tonight I moved on-
while you were sleeping.
Dont look for me, dont wait for me, i found my path
(while you were sleepin)over sticks and stones,
over broken bones I wont look back
(while you were sleepin)there's a place for you
somewhere in my heart, but thats the past.
While you were sleepin I was wandering with the lonely people,
While you were sleepin, trying to fill the void you left
Life is short and the nights are long,and tonight
I moved on- while you were sleeping.
I can't recall, the beauty in your face
The distance between us it sews its dirty seed
spreading inside of me with every breath i breathe
While you were sleepin I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping, tryin to fill the void you left
Life is short and the nights are long, and tonight
I moved on while you were sleepin.
A stranger for the night so I don't wake up alone(all alone)
to fake what we had, 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 sleepin, I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleepin, tryin to fill the void you left
life is short and the nights are long, and tonight I moved on-
while you were sleeping.
Dont look for me, dont wait for me, i found my path
(while you were sleepin)over sticks and stones,
over broken bones I wont look back
(while you were sleepin)there's a place for you
somewhere in my heart, but thats the past.
While you were sleepin I was wandering with the lonely people,
While you were sleepin, trying to fill the void you left
Life is short and the nights are long,and tonight
I moved on- while you were sleeping.
