How Can You Sleep? Lyrics

You know I'm always late
You know I've made mistakes
I surround you with chaos
But all you need is a break

So we argue a little
We fight a bit more
When the pain gets too much
You suddenly close the door

Baby... how,
How can you sleep, tonight?
Darling, how,
How can you sleep, tonight?

You like things perfect
Nothing can be out of place
Every morning you wake up
Every night I do the same

So we argue a little
We fight a bit more
When the pain gets too much
You suddenly close the door

Baby... how,
How can you sleep, tonight?
Darling, how,
How can you sleep, tonight?

Every time you drink way too much
So we end in tears in the lights
So be honest now

Baby... how,
How can you sleep, tonight?
Darling, how,
How can you sleep, tonight?

Darling, how,
How can you sleep, tonight?
Baby, how,
How can you sleep tonight?
Baby, how...

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.
