YOU SLEEP FINE Verse 1 You said something cruel Then watched my face change I swear I felt the whole room Move an inch away I told you what it did to me You told me what you meant Like intention could erase Where the bullet went Now I’m explaining blood To the person holding the knife You keep correcting details While I’m losing my mind Pre-Chorus You say, “That’s not what happened” “That’s not what I said” So why am I lying here Wishing I was dead to it? Why does your version Always leave me alone? Chorus And you sleep fine You sleep fine Turn your back Close your eyes While I’m breaking Six inches from your spine You sleep fine God, you sleep fine I’m wide awake Trying not to cry You hurt me Then told me I’m wrong about why And somehow That hurts worse every time You sleep fine Verse 2 I reached across the mattress Like there was still a bridge My hand stopped in the darkness A couple inches from your skin I wanted you to notice I wanted you to turn I wanted one small sign That watching me hurt Could hurt you in return But breathing gets so easy When the pain is someone else’s You disappear beneath the blankets And leave me here with myself Pre-Chorus You say, “You’re twisting my words” “You always make things worse” So now I’m saying sorry For the way that I got hurt Tell me— How did I become the crime For bleeding at the scene? Chorus And you sleep fine You sleep fine Turn your back Close your eyes While I’m breaking Six inches from your spine You sleep fine God, you sleep fine I’m wide awake Trying not to cry You hurt me Then told me I’m wrong about why And somehow That hurts worse every time You sleep fine Bridge — almost whispered Maybe I imagined it Maybe I invented every bruise Maybe I put the words inside your mouth Just to have something to lose Maybe the tears aren’t real Maybe I’m difficult Maybe love is learning How to doubt what you can feel Maybe Maybe Maybe— BUILD No. I know what happened. I was there. Breakdown I was there When your voice changed I was there When you looked away I was there When I told you What it did And I was there When you made me prove my pain I shouldn’t have to prove my pain Final Chorus But you sleep fine You sleep fine Turn your back Like love went blind I’m falling apart On my half of the night And you sleep fine You always sleep fine No hand reaching back No “are you alright?” Just your breathing Keeping perfect time While mine keeps breaking Mine keeps breaking You hurt me once Then you hurt me twice The first was what you did The second— Was telling me It never happened Outro You sleep fine You sleep fine I wonder what it’s like To hurt someone you love And sleep fine.
