You're Not the One
I lie awake in the morning
For hours counting sheep
You came to me with no warning
And I'm too shaken now to go back to sleep
Closing my eyes, I am drifting
And then I jolt awake so fast
There is no rest in reliving
No light in the shadow you cast
Get out of my mind, leave me alone
Why won't you just let me sleep
You're not the one I should be dreaming of
You're not the one who's memories should haunt
I let you go so why won't you just stay gone?
You're not the one that I should want
You're not the one that I should want
Lone bone digger, keep digging
Turn my fragile mind upsidedown
My body is here with the living
And my thoughts buried deep in the ground
What do you need to let me move on?
Why won't you just let me sleep?
Night after nightmare, dusk until dawn
Your face is all I can see
You're not the one I should be dreaming of
You're not the one who's memories should haunt
I let you go so why won't you just stay gone?
You're not the one that I should want
You're not the one that I should want
How did I become a prisoner?
How did I become so full of grief?
I don't know how I can lie there next to someone else
And let you steal the joy from me
Somehow you break down all the walls I constructed
Stiring up all these old feelings
Oh, how did I become so weak?
Will I ever go back to sleep?
You probably don't even know
What you've done to me
You're not the one I should be dreaming of
Oh, you're not the one who's memories should haunt
I let you go so why won't you just stay gone?
You're not the one that I should want
You're not the one that I should want
No, you're not the one that I should want
For hours counting sheep
You came to me with no warning
And I'm too shaken now to go back to sleep
Closing my eyes, I am drifting
And then I jolt awake so fast
There is no rest in reliving
No light in the shadow you cast
Get out of my mind, leave me alone
Why won't you just let me sleep
You're not the one I should be dreaming of
You're not the one who's memories should haunt
I let you go so why won't you just stay gone?
You're not the one that I should want
You're not the one that I should want
Lone bone digger, keep digging
Turn my fragile mind upsidedown
My body is here with the living
And my thoughts buried deep in the ground
What do you need to let me move on?
Why won't you just let me sleep?
Night after nightmare, dusk until dawn
Your face is all I can see
You're not the one I should be dreaming of
You're not the one who's memories should haunt
I let you go so why won't you just stay gone?
You're not the one that I should want
You're not the one that I should want
How did I become a prisoner?
How did I become so full of grief?
I don't know how I can lie there next to someone else
And let you steal the joy from me
Somehow you break down all the walls I constructed
Stiring up all these old feelings
Oh, how did I become so weak?
Will I ever go back to sleep?
You probably don't even know
What you've done to me
You're not the one I should be dreaming of
Oh, you're not the one who's memories should haunt
I let you go so why won't you just stay gone?
You're not the one that I should want
You're not the one that I should want
No, you're not the one that I should want
