The bloodstains on my hands
Our three year, one night stand
Love is bitter when it's spent
Lying next to me in bed
Say her name under my breath (Sleeptalk)
It's toxic, the same dance
Our feet firm in quicksand
Love is bitter when I see
How much I can make you bleed
‘Til you feel like you’re deceased (Sleeptalk)
Into the night, I drink and drive
Anything to help me let go, let go
You feel the pain, I feel the same
But we cannot repeat this cycle
Oh
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come
No, please don't be alarmed
We tend to fall apart
I'm entirely to blame
No, I couldn't keep you safe
If there's trust I will betray (Sleeptalk)
Sunset, sunrise
It's better you're not mine
I had everything to lose
Always find a way to prove
That I'm undeserving of you
Into the night, I drink and drive
Anything to help me let go, let go
You feel the pain, I feel the same
But we cannot repeat this cycle
Oh
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come
I play the victim, like it's tradition
Now I can see that I should have left you alone
The worst is yet to come
One day you'll see
That the truth is, I am just a disease
(I am just a disease
I am just a disease)
The worst is yet to come
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come
Our three year, one night stand
Love is bitter when it's spent
Lying next to me in bed
Say her name under my breath (Sleeptalk)
It's toxic, the same dance
Our feet firm in quicksand
Love is bitter when I see
How much I can make you bleed
‘Til you feel like you’re deceased (Sleeptalk)
Anything to help me let go, let go
You feel the pain, I feel the same
But we cannot repeat this cycle
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come
We tend to fall apart
I'm entirely to blame
No, I couldn't keep you safe
If there's trust I will betray (Sleeptalk)
Sunset, sunrise
It's better you're not mine
I had everything to lose
Always find a way to prove
That I'm undeserving of you
Anything to help me let go, let go
You feel the pain, I feel the same
But we cannot repeat this cycle
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come
Now I can see that I should have left you alone
The worst is yet to come
One day you'll see
That the truth is, I am just a disease
(I am just a disease
I am just a disease)
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come
Oh
The worst is yet to come

Rory Rodriguez, in a later video after the release of Sleeptalk, detailed a toxic relationship he had over the course of 3 years prior to the song idea. He and this woman loved each other but eventually fell out of love with each other, yet still lived together. They both began multiple other relationships while still sleeping in the same bed at night if they didn't sleep elsewhere.
