Lyrics

(I sleep with one eye open) (Open) [Verse 1] My hands are cold as pavement I'm changing to ice, ice I'm counting all the places Your face is a knife, a knife [Pre-Chorus] Let's pretend We don't know how this ends We could leave it for dead But you're so persistent, ah-ah-ah [Chorus] I sleep with one eye open I hear you heavy breathing through the door You dream of my devotion It kills you I don't need it anymore You keep me uneasy Just leave me alone I sleep with one eye open Open, open [Verse 2] I'm trapped in your good graces Abrasive I fight, fight I'm forced to be your favorite Just say goodbye, bye [Pre-Chorus] Let's pretend We don't know how this ends We could leave it for dead But you're so persistent, ah-ah-ah [Chorus] I sleep with one eye open I hear you heavy breathing through the door You dream of my devotion It kills you I don't need it anymore You keep me uneasy Just leave me alone I sleep with one eye open Open, open [Outro] And as I lay my head to rest I take a blade to my chest I try to pray I'm out of breath I drift away I'm self-possessed
