Keys told The Sun newspaper : "I just love that song. I'm excited about that song, as I just love the way it's pushing things forward. It's a great representation of where I am now. I can play it with tons of music behind me or I can play it with just the piano. Either way it touches, you get it. I'm so very excited by that record."

Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart
Alicia Keys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's do it, baby
Let's do it, do it
Even if you were a million miles away
I can still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time, you were telling me lies, ay
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown, you made my body feel Heaven-bound
Why don't you hold me? Need me
I thought you told me, you'd never leave me
Looking in the sky I could see your face
Then I knew right where I fit in
Take me, make me
You know that I'll always be in love with you
Right, 'til the end, ohh
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream I'll just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you (oh, hold on)
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Oh, Lord
Have you ever tried? Have you ever
Living without my love
Have you ever tried, have you ever tried?
La, la
La-la-la-la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

Distance cannot separate the love, while lying next to you or at the bottom of the sea. All the time you were lying to me.
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm going to move on from you and cherish the good memories of our past. I will find a way to survive without you.

Can you ever sleep peacefully while nursing a broken heart? Come and sleep in my bed, because no one else can satisfy me like you did before. I thought you would never leave me, yet now I am left alone. When I look up in the sky at night, I see your face, and it reminds me of where I belong. Take me, and make me yours forever; I am always going to cherish you.
Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream I'll just hold on to love
And I could find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
Our relationship was destined to fail from the beginning, so instead of holding onto a shattered dream, I will just hold onto the love that was at the heart of our romance. If I don’t hold on too tightly, I can find a way to survive without you.
Oh, Lord
Have you ever tried? Have you ever
Living without my love
Have you ever tried, have you ever tried?
La, la
La-la-la-la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, God. Have you ever tried living without the love and support that I provided? La la la.

@@1goldenshell BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.
Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.
See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.
SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.
