(I sleep with one eye open)
(Open)

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

Let's pretend
We don't know how this ends
We could leave it for dead
But you're so persistent, ah-ah-ah

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

I'm trapped in your good graces
Abrasive I fight, fight
I'm forced to be your favorite
Just say goodbye, bye

Let's pretend
We don't know how this ends
We could leave it for dead
But you're so persistent, ah-ah-ah

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

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
