We All Sleep Alone Lyrics

Somebody, somewhere turns off the lights
Somebody all alone faces the night
You've got to be strong
When you're out on your own
'Cause sooner or later we all sleep alone

Nobody, nowhere holds the key to your heart
When love's a possession it'll tear you apart
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later we all sleep alone

Oh, the young and the young at heart waits
But the wait never ends in the soul
When you feel like it's all blown away
Independence has come and into the night I go

Don't make no promises that I can't keep
I won't be no prisoner of somebody's needs
You may have lovers wherever you roam
But sooner or later, ooh we all sleep alone
Ooh, we all sleep alone

Yeah, yeah
We all sleep alone
Yeah
And I know, and I know
How you feel
What you're thinking
What you're saying to me
'Cause we all sleep alone
Yes we all sleep alone

I think this song is about how all relationships end at one point or another, and when they do end you'll feel sad, but at the same time you'll feel relieved because you are no longer "trapped".
