While You Sleep

Verse 1

Your chest is rising slow, so unaware,

(so quiet… so fragile…)

I kiss your hair but I’m not really there.

Truths I bury cut me deep,

I’m a liar, I’m a cheat, I’m the promises I’ll never keep.

(never keep… never keep…)

Pre-Chorus

Your dreams paint me in colors so bright,

But I’m drowning in the black tonight.

(drowning… tonight…)

Chorus

While you sleep, I confess it all,

Every sin, every scar, every broken wall.

I’m a liar (liar…), I’m a cheat (cheat…), and it’s killing me,

But the villain (villain…) is the only thing I’ll ever be.

While you sleep… (while you sleep…)

I bleed secrets you’ll never see.

Verse 2

Your hand in mine feels like it’s enough,

(so pure… but I corrupt…)

But love like this was never built on trust.

I play the saint, but I’m the snake,

I’m the cracks in the dream you’ll never wake.

(cracks in the dream… wake, wake, wake…)

Pre-Chorus

Every smile I wear is a loaded gun,

Pointed straight at the only one.

(only one… only one…)

Chorus

While you sleep, I confess it all,

Every sin, every scar, every broken wall.

I’m a liar (liar…), I’m a cheat (cheat…), and it’s killing me,

But the villain (villain…) is the only thing I’ll ever be.

While you sleep… (while you sleep…)

I bleed secrets you’ll never see.

Bridge

Can’t stop (can’t stop…), won’t stop (won’t stop…),

Tearing down the love I want.

I’m the poison in your veins,

The fire that leaves nothing but flames.

(poison… flames… liar… cheat…)

Final Chorus

While you sleep, I confess it all,

I’m the ruin standing proud and tall.

I’m a liar (liar…), I’m a cheat (cheat…), I’m the scars you can’t see,

And the villain (villain…) in the story where you still love me.

While you sleep… (while you sleep…)

I bleed secrets you’ll never see.

Outro

Close your eyes…

Don’t wake, don’t wake.

I’m your villain…

Forever hidden.
