Asleep Lyrics

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well

Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye

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.

This does contain some spoilers in the 2nd paragraph.

This song is about an escape. Death is the easiest way. She would like to die because everything is too overwhelming and emotional at this point. She's "tired" and "wants to go to bed." In the bible death is always likend to a very deep sleep. "Don't feel bad" because it's what she wants and feels she will be at peace.

In the movie this cover of this song was used for she wants the lobotomy, It's the perfect escape other than suicide. The end result will take her away. All of her pain will be locked away in a cell inside of her heart. She no longer has to deal with the pain. "She'll be gone", still alive but gone to the world and everyone around her. She is even told to "come back" by Blue at one point. She also says that he will never have her. She knows she's about to leave. She's about to go to sleep.

I LOVE this song, this is my favorite recently.

I just LOVE this song. It seems kinda like the person wants to die, but wants someone to be by her side, and then just leave her alone afterwards.
