Sleeping Alone Forevermore

I want to take you home with me tonight,

But I gotta make sure you don’t track in any dirt from your past.

So clean it all up before you come into my home.

Or tell me the truth,

That you can’t let her go either,

And I’ll be alright sleeping alone.

My perfume lingers like a streetlight’s hum,

And my earrings will get caught in your sheets,

Don’t save all your love for me baby,

Cause you cannot come stay at my house,

When she’s through with you and me getting careless with our love affair,

Your the best that I’ve ever had,

And I know you crave me too,

But my kisses will stain cherry on your skin,

So you better be a good boy and just go home,

Don’t save all your love for me baby,

When you know you got a girl at home.

Just distance yourself from me,

Destroy all the memories,

I’m never coming back to you,

As long as she’s the one with your life,

I’ll be alright sleeping alone forevermore.

You whisper secrets in the dark,

then change your mind like surfing tv shows,

Your coat’s hung up on memories,

Seams sewn tight you try to hold it in,

But the moon’s a jealous witness to the way you hide.

And I’ll be alright sleeping alone forevermore

So fold your past away and put it on the shelf,

Don’t bring that silent echo to our midnight self,

If honesty’s a thorn, then let the pain be known,

I’d rather feel the truth than live with what’s not shown,

Before she’s through with you and me getting careless with our love affair,

Your the best that I’ve ever had,

And I know you crave me too,

But my kisses will stain cherry on your skin,

So you better be a good boy and just go home,

Don’t save all your love for me baby,

When you know you got a girl at home.

Just distance yourself from me,

Destroy all the memories,

I’m never coming back to you,

As long as she’s the one with your life,

I’ll be alright sleeping alone forevermore.

Oh and I still get so lost in the feeling,

And I can’t imagine losing you, no not you— baby

Oh if your heart can find a new reason- for someone special to hold on to, I would let you in. I would let you in, if you weren’t already with her.

Oh baby don’t save your love all for me, all it will do is have you running, running back to me.

Over and over and over again,

Oh baby don’t save your love all for me, all it will do is have you running, running back to me

And we can’t get careless, no I said we can’t get careless, we can’t get careless with our love affair

Oh baby it’s just a memory, I can’t let you in tonight,

As much as I want to, I just can’t (let in you tonight)

I just can’t (let you in tonight)

Be a good man for her,

I just can’t (let you in tonight).

so just distance yourself from me,

destroy all the memories,

i’m never coming back to you,

as long as she’s the one with your life,

i’ll be alright sleeping alone forevermore.
