The Bed
Ray Romano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can see her now
Dancing around, her drink in hand
All her baggage you tow
I just want to forget and let go
Of all the joy, all of the pain
I took your guilt and placed it into me
And now I kiss it goodbye
Who's sleeping on my side
Of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard?
Baby, you just died
Who's sleeping on my side
Of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard?
Have you ever cried so hard?
And there she goes again
Another masquerade in false circumstance
She'll fuck you just for the taste
Well, I just wish that I could replace
All the memories of
What makes my blood run cold
And as your blood runs through me
I say goodbye to what we had
Who's sleeping on my side
Of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard?
Baby, you just died
Who's sleeping on my side
Of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard?
Have you ever cried so hard?
She came and went
I gnawed through my lip
Makeup smeared in her eyes
Each sob's a reason to say goodbye
Sometimes when your holding on
You'll never see the light
With flowers in her hair
Gazed upon with dead lovers eyes
She never looked so good
And I never felt so right
With flowers in her hair
Gazed upon with dead lovers eyes
She never looked so good
And I never felt so right
Never felt so right
I never felt so wrong
With flowers in her hair
Gazed upon with dead lovers eyes
She never looked so good
And I never felt so right
Who's sleeping on my side
Of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard?
Baby, you just died
Who's sleeping on my side
Of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard?
Have you ever cried so hard?
You just died
At its core, "The Bed" by Ray Romano is a song about heartbreak and the struggles of moving on from a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's former lover, who is depicted as a free-spirited and carefree person. The singer expresses his desire to leave all the pain and joy associated with the relationship behind and his aching need to forget everything. The song speaks to the aftermath of heartbreak, to the empty bed that signifies the end of a relationship, and to the painful memories that never seem to fade away.
The lyrics use vivid metaphors to convey the intensity of the singer's emotions. For example, the line "Have you ever cried so hard? Baby, you just died" is a powerful way to articulate just how devastating the end of a relationship can be. Additionally, the lyrics are also peppered with violent imagery, such as "Our last dance ended fatally," which underscores the sense of finality and inevitability that comes with the end of a relationship.
All in all, "The Bed" is a powerful song that captures the raw emotions of heartbreak and the struggles that come with moving on from a relationship.

Come on
Let's begin.
And I can see her now
I reminisce of her.
Dancing around, her drink in hand
She's carefree and happy-go-lucky.
All her baggage you tow
You carry all her burdens.
I just want to forget and let go
I want to move on from this painful past.
Of all the joy, all of the pain
Of everything that we had, both happy and sad.
I took your guilt and placed it into me
I accepted your wrongdoing and made it mine to bear.
And now I kiss it goodbye
I am bidding farewell to all of that pain and guilt.
Our last dance ended fatally
Our relationship ended in disaster.
Who's sleeping on my side
I wonder who will occupy the space beside me.
Of the bed tonight?
Tonight, in this lonely bed of mine.
Have you ever cried so hard?
Have you ever wept so intensely?
Baby, you just died
It feels as if a part of me has just died.
And there she goes again
She's moving on with her life.
Another masquerade in false circumstance
She's putting on a façade and pretending that everything is okay.
She'll fuck you just for the taste
She's promiscuous and will sleep with anyone for the thrill of it.
Well, I just wish that I could replace
I wish I could remove all her memories from my mind.
All the memories of
All the reminiscences of.
What makes my blood run cold
What terrifies me to the core.
And as your blood runs through me
As I let go of our toxic relationship.
I say goodbye to what we had
I am bidding farewell to all that we once shared.
She came and went
She moved in and out of my life so easily.
I gnawed through my lip
I bit my lip so hard in frustration.
Makeup smeared in her eyes
She cried so much that her makeup smudged.
Each sob's a reason to say goodbye
Every wail reminds me why we parted ways.
Sometimes when you're holding on
It's difficult to let go of something that was once dear to you.
You'll never see the light
You won't realize what you're losing until it's already gone.
With flowers in her hair
She's trying to be the bohemian type.
Gazed upon with dead lovers eyes
She looks at me with a vacant, loveless expression.
She never looked so good
She never appeared this desirable before.
And I never felt so right
And I never felt this content before.
Never felt so right
I've never been more certain.
I never felt so wrong
But, I never felt so incorrect either.
Who's sleeping on my side
I wonder who will warm my bed.
Of the bed tonight?
Tonight, in this empty bedroom of mine.
Have you ever cried so hard?
Have you ever wept so uncontrollably?
You just died
It feels as if a part of me has died inside.
