Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart
Alicia Keys琀 Lyrics

Even if you were a million miles away
Distance doesn't diminish the connection I feel towards you

I can still feel you in my bed
The memories of us linger and I can feel your presence everywhere

Near me, touch me, feel me
The desire to be close to you never fades away

And even at the bottom of the sea
Even in the depths of despair, I cannot forget about you

I could still hear inside my head
Your voice still resonates within me, refusing to fade away

Telling me, touch me, feel me
The longing to be near you is ever-present

And all the time, you were telling me lies
The betrayal cuts deeply, and I am left grappling with the falsehoods

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I am resolved to move on, to find my footing without you by my side

I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Despite the heartache, I cherish the moments we shared together

Have you ever try sleeping with a broken heart?
Have you ever known the insurmountable pain of trying to sleep when your heart is shattered?

Well you could try sleeping in my bed
You could try to understand the loneliness that pervades my being

Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you
I am alone, and you have an inexplicable hold over me that no one else ever could

You wore the crown, you made my body feel heaven bound
You held such power over me, and with you, I experienced euphoria

Why don't you hold me, need me
I cannot fathom why you left me, why you no longer need me in your life

I thought you told me, you'd never leave me
You made promises that you could not keep, and now I am suffering the consequences

Looking in the sky I could see your face
Everywhere I turn, I see the remnants of our relationship, and I can't escape the memories

Then I knew right where I fit in
With you, I felt like I belonged and had a place in this world

Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love with you
Despite everything, my love for you persists and I am helpless to change that fact

Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart
The end of our relationship was predictable and perhaps preventable, but we chose to ignore the warning signs

So rather than hold on to a broken dream I'll just hold on to love
Instead of clinging to a shattered fantasy, I'll cling to the love that once existed between us

And I could find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight
I am capable of moving on, but I cannot hold on too tightly to the past

I'll make it without you tonight
I am determined to survive, to make it through the night without you by my side
