  • Boy, you tried to make a mess of me
    Tear me down and make me believe
    Thank God, I didn't fall too deep
    Why'd you try to make a mess of me
    There was something 'bout the things you said
    Just to try to get into my head
    Go lie in that empty bed
    Boy, you know now just what you did

    So tell me why are you trying so hard
    Whoa, just to break my heart
    Kept on pulling me in
    Thought I would give in
    So tell me before I leave (tell me)
    How do you sleep

    Wish I could erase you from my mind
    Take away the pain I feel inside
    Like a fool, you didn't bring a light
    Boy, you know I saw right through your lies
    I'm gonna throw all those things away
    You gave to me to make me wanna stay
    I heard you never, never cared anyway
    Don't think that I'll be coming back someday

    So tell me why are you trying so hard
    Whoa, just to break my heart
    Kept on pulling me in
    Thought I would give in
    So tell me before I leave (tell me)
    How do you sleep

    Ooh, yeah, yeah

    So tell me why are you trying so hard
    Whoa, just to break my heart
    Kept on pulling me in
    Thought I would give in
    So tell me before I leave (tell me)
    How do you sleep

    Sleep
    How do you sleep
    Sleep
    Sleep
    Sleep
