Sleep
Weta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna place to weigh the pain I feel inside
I wanna pierce your heart into your staring eyes
Cause as the doors are ? out you ? me
It's easy to see that's it's only fine in games
It's just games

So
Sleep little girl and
Don't let them lead you astray
Not astray

And now they got you caught up in a stupid world
I'd like to sit and talk but I can see it all
And when I come over talk to you for hours
It's easy to see that you still haven't got it right
Right

And so

Sleep little girl and
Don't let them lead you astray
Cause I know that
I just can't believe it
I could never be that way

Not that way

Thought you said you'd always be alone
Don't forget to mention why
And I never heard you on the phone
I won't forget the reasons why

Why
Why

And so

Sleep little girl and
Don't let them lead you astray
Cause I know that
I just can't believe it
I could never be that way





Not that way
Not that way
