She comes to me at night when I’m sleeping
She comes to me when I’m alone
She comes to me She holds my head when I’m crying
She comes to me She shuts my eyes
She brings me home

But I’m not sleeping anymore
She tells me when you look at me She tells me when you’re lying
She tells me when you talk about me She lays me on the floor
She tells me when you’re whispering She lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors

But I’m not sleeping anymore

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 a.m.
All alone again
But I’ve been through all this shit before
Spend my nights in self-defense
Cry about my innocence
But I ain’t all that innocent anymore

I see her on the TV I see her in the movies
I see her in these animals that dance beside my bed
I’ll follow you down baby Down into this valley
I’ll follow you down baby But I won’t come up again
But I’m not sleeping anymore
