Bed
J Holiday ft. Trey Songz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's gone again
She's gone again, no no

Every time she leaves it's my heart that she's taken from me
I dunno if she's gone for good or returning in the morning
And I wait through the night cause I can't help the tossing and turning
I want you to know that our bed, our sheets, our pillows get lonely
On, yo side of the bed

Yo side, yo side, yo side, yo side,
Its lonely
On your side of the bed
Yo side, yo side, yo side,
Its not the same without you here
On yo side of the bed
Yo side, yo side, yo side,
Its lonely
On your side of the bed
Yo side, yo side, yo side,
(it's so lonely there)
I don't wanna sleep if you ain't here, no

I just wanna breathe your air
Watch you when your wrapping up your hair
Gazing at the mirrors up there, I'm reaching while imagining that you're there
I wait through the night cause I can't help the tossing and turning
Our bed, our sheets, our pillows get lonely
On, yo side of the bed

Yo side, yo side, yo side, yo side,
Its lonely
On your side of the bed
Yo side, yo side, yo side,
Its not the same without you here
On yo side of the bed
Yo side, yo side, yo side,
Its lonely
On your side of the bed
Yo side, yo side, yo side,
(it's so lonely there)
I don't wanna sleep if you ain't here

Play on,
That's what you gotta do sometimes
Let it play baby,
So lonely there,
On, yo side of the bed

Yo side, yo side, yo side, yo side,
Its so lonely baby
On your side of the bed (when you come home,
Girl you should know,
Your pillow is waiting girl)
Yo side, yo side, yo side,
On yo side of the bed
Yo side, yo side, yo side, yo side yo side yo side
On your side girl
This bed ain't the same without the love that we made
And the sound of the springs, no
I don't wanna sleep if you ain't here




Sleep shes coming back
Sleep shes coming back

Overall Meaning

The song "Bed" is a ballad about a man who can't sleep without his lover by his side. Every time she's gone, he feels the emptiness in their bed that he can't seem to fill. He doesn't know if she's coming back or not, so he waits through the night, tossing and turning, imagining her on her side of the bed. He longs for her touch, her scent, her presence. He just wants to breathe her air and watch her wrap her hair at night while he's in bed. He wants her to know that their bed, their sheets, and their pillows get lonely without her. He wants her to come back to him, and until then, he's willing to wait and endure the loneliness.


The lyrics are full of imagery that creates a sense of longing and despair. The idea of an empty bed being lonely is something most people can relate to, and the imagery of the man imagining his lover being there with him is very powerful. The repetition of "Yo side of the bed" emphasizes the absence of his lover and how it affects him. He is so lost without her that he can't even sleep, and he desperately wants her to return to him.
