Sleeptalking

My eyes are turning red

Staring at the ceiling fan

Confessions underneath his breath

I don’t think he knows

Pull him towards my chest

I’m holding him with both my hands

He’s somewhere far away again

When his eyes are closed

I know when he wakes up nothing i can do but

Hold my tongue and somehow try to breathe

I know that he misses her

I know that he wishes her body was next to him instead of me

Why’d i hear him talking in his sleep

Why’d i hear him talking in his sleep

Screaming in my pillow

Hiding under covers

Everything i know is a lie

When every little moment feels like they were stolen

Like we’re on borrowed time

Her kiss is lingering on his mouth

Dishes in the sink while we’re playing house

He’s keeping her clothes like she’s still around

I’m fighting with a ghost who can take me down

And i know when he wakes up nothing i can do but

Hold my tongue and somehow try to breathe

I know that he misses her

I know that he wishes her body was next to him instead of me

Why’d i hear him talking in his sleep

Why’d i hear him talking in his sleep
