Sleeping Pills Lyrics

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't take them again tonight
I stayed up with the lights on
I'm gonna stay up all night
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't fall to coma again
I had enough of your nightmares
I'm gonna stay up with my friend
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't take 'em again tonight
I stayed up with the lights on
I'm going to stay up all night
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't fall to coma again
I had enough of your nightmares
I'm gonna stay up my friend
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them...

-- Oh no, no, no!
-- Oh yeah!
-- Ah! Ah!

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Didn't take your...

'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't take them again tonight
I stayed up with the lights on
I'm gonna stay up all night
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't fall to coma again
I had enough of your nightmares
I'm gonna stay up with my friend
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't take 'em again tonight
I stayed up with the lights on
I'm going to stay up all night
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Didn't take your sleeping pills last night
Won't fall to coma again
I had enough of your nightmares
I'm gonna stay up my friend
'Cause I don't wanna live that way

Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them be
Cures against sleep & nightmares -- I'll leave them...

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.
