Sleep Alone Lyrics - Better Days - Shawn Mullins

Don't tell me about the nature of desire 

I sit and watch you 

Twisted, tangled in the wire 

I'm on the road now 

And you're glad to see me go 

I guess you'll sit outside 

And watch your flowers grow. 

Oh, I never knew the rounds 

I'd take for loving you. 

I hope you're happy with your life 

I guess you'll sleep along tonight. 

I used to wonder 

How you kept me down so long 

I'm glad to say 

That now I'm back where I belong. 

I'm on the road now 

And I'm wishing I was fast asleep 

I thinking of the promises 

You never seem to keep. 

Oh, I never knew the rounds 

I'd take for loving you. 

I hope you're happy with your life 

I guess you'll sleep along tonight. 

Don't try and change my mind. 

There's nothing left to say. 

Yea you've been buying time 

But now you're gonna pay. 

So don't tell me 

About the nature of desire 

I sit and watch you 

Twisted, tangled in the wire. 

I'm on the road now 

And I'm glad to see me go. 

I guess I'll sit outside 

And watch the flowers grow. 

Oh, I never knew the rounds 

I'd take for loving you. 

I hope you're happy with your life 

I guess you'll sleep along tonight.
