While You Were Sleeping Lyrics

So far away from the place where I feel safe
I can't recall the beauty in your face
The distance between us sows its dirty seeds
Spreading inside of me with every breath I breathe
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping

A stranger for the night, so I don't wake up alone
To fake what we had but it doesn't feel like home
The distance between us grows its dirty seeds
Consuming my insides with every breath I breathe
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping

Don't look for me, don't wait for me
I've found my path
Over sticks and stones, over broken bones
I won't look back
There's a place for you somewhere in my heart
But that's the past
While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
