Can you Sleep Lyrics
Was it that hard, to give me away?
Are you that easily persuaded, by a memory that's faded
Like a card, left out in the rain
And tears will fall like ink right off the page
Tell me, can you sleep at night?
Knowing I'm awake when you turn out the light,
Did you think that I was gonna be alright?
Kicked out of your life
Tell me, can you sleep at night?
Do you think of me, when you're with her?
Is she filling all the blanks in,
Till the temporary space is empty again,
Just like you are, and now you'll have to smile and just pretend..
So tell me, can you sleep at night?
Knowing i'm awake when you turn out the light
Did you think that I was gonna be alright,
Pushed out of your life
Tell me can you sleep..
But all this time we wasted, you were all I thought about
And this bitter pill I'm tastin', well it's time to spit it out
Oh no no..
Can you sleep at night?
Knowing I'm awake
When you turn out the light
Did you think that I was gonna be alright
Shoved out of your life,
tell me can you sleep, tell me can you sleep at night?
Are you that easily persuaded, by a memory that's faded
Like a card, left out in the rain
And tears will fall like ink right off the page
Tell me, can you sleep at night?
Knowing I'm awake when you turn out the light,
Did you think that I was gonna be alright?
Kicked out of your life
Tell me, can you sleep at night?
Do you think of me, when you're with her?
Is she filling all the blanks in,
Till the temporary space is empty again,
Just like you are, and now you'll have to smile and just pretend..
So tell me, can you sleep at night?
Knowing i'm awake when you turn out the light
Did you think that I was gonna be alright,
Pushed out of your life
Tell me can you sleep..
But all this time we wasted, you were all I thought about
And this bitter pill I'm tastin', well it's time to spit it out
Oh no no..
Can you sleep at night?
Knowing I'm awake
When you turn out the light
Did you think that I was gonna be alright
Shoved out of your life,
tell me can you sleep, tell me can you sleep at night?

Yeah. I submitted this and I'm the first comment. Lol. But yeah I love this song. Everything about it. The melody, the way the instruments sound kind of misty and far-away, like distant (..Yes I know that probably doesn't make sense.) And especially Courtney's voice. It sounds amazing in this song. Beautiful.
This song defines what I'm going through, wondering what the other person thinks of you during an awkward part of your relationship
perfect song for One Tree Hill.... since it was on the soundtrack :)
