I'm Not Sleeping Alone Lyrics

Your toothbrush is still next to mine
Your clothes are hanging in the closet
And I'm still living here
You paid the deposit
Now the future is unknown
But I'm not sleeping alone

I'm sleeping with a memory
I'm sleeping with regret
I'm sleeping with a fantasy that I can't let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh, I'm not sleeping alone

I'm not sleeping alone
I'm not sleeping alone

Hey, I wonder where you are tonight
What's going through your head
Hey I'm doing all right
On my side of the bed
You think I'm here on my own
But I'm not sleeping alone

I'm sleeping with a memory
I'm sleeping with regret
I'm sleeping with a fantasy that I can't let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh, I'm not sleeping alone

I'm not sleeping alone
I'm not sleeping alone
You think I'm on my own
I'm not sleeping alone

When I put my head on the pillow
And I enter the world of my dreams
Everything is as it was before
Still loving me
You're still loving me
You think I'm here on my own
But I'm not sleeping alone

I'm sleeping with a memory
I'm sleeping with regret
I'm sleeping with a fantasy that I can't let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh, I'm not sleeping alone

I'm not sleeping alone
I'm not sleeping alone
You think I'm on my own
I'm not sleeping alone
Oh and I still feel you beside me
So you know, I'm not sleeping alone

Your toothbrush is still next to mine
Your clothes are hanging in the closet
And I'm still living here
You paid the deposit
Now the future is unknown
But I'm not sleeping alone

I'm sleeping with a memory
I'm sleeping with regret
I'm sleeping with a fantasy that I can't let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh, I'm not sleeping alone

I'm not sleeping alone
I'm not sleeping alone

Hey, I wonder where you are tonight
What's going through your head
Hey I'm doing all right
On my side of the bed
You think I'm here on my own
But I'm not sleeping alone

I'm sleeping with a memory
I'm sleeping with regret
I'm sleeping with a fantasy that I can't let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh, I'm not sleeping alone

I'm not sleeping alone
I'm not sleeping alone
You think I'm on my own
I'm not sleeping alone

When I put my head on the pillow
And I enter the world of my dreams
Everything is as it was before
Still loving me 
You're still loving me
You think I'm here on my own
But I'm not sleeping alone

I'm sleeping with a memory
I'm sleeping with regret
I'm sleeping with a fantasy that I can't let go of yet
Half of me is you
Everything I own
I feel you beside me
Oh, I'm not sleeping alone

I'm not sleeping alone
I'm not sleeping alone
You think I'm on my own
I'm not sleeping alone
Oh and I still feel you beside me
So you know, I'm not sleeping alone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's kinda obvious what's going on here. She left him and things are as if she never left in their apartment. He wonders how she's doing as she lives it up thinking he's now all alone and lonely, he's still hung up on her. He's not sleeping alone because of all the bad emotions he holds over her. And when he goes to sleep, in his dreams, everything goes back to how it used to be.. I love it. It perfectely phrases how you feel after someone breaks up with you. You're not really "alone" after they leave you. You've got the heartbreak.
