Lyrics
Let Me Be
You know you shouldn't be here
In the middle of the night
I'm trying to be faithful
Gettin' on with my life
You've woke me up already
Three other times this week
I need to close my eyes
But I can't rest in peace
(Chorus)
Let me sleep, let me be
Go on and walk the shadows of somebody else's dreams
You told me it was over, you said we were through
So, let me sleep, let me be, over you
I lie here in the darkness
In someone else's arms
Tossin' and a turnin'
Afraid that you might talk
This can't go on forever
Sometimes I think it could
One day I'll take my final breath
And you'll be gone for good
(Chorus)
Let me sleep, let me be
Go on and walk the shadows of somebody else's dreams
You told me it was over, you said we were through
So, let me sleep, let me be, over you
You told me it was over, you said we were through
Just, let me sleep; let me be, over you
