Bed Of Lies Lyrics

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am

I don't think that I can take another empty moment
I don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
Well it's not enough just to be wanted
Don't think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me you got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we've softly surrendered
To these lives that we've tendered away

But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
Cuz I can

Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just be sorry

Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in
Tried to be more than me
And I gave till it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters that we've made

But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning

I am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this

I will not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
'Cause I can

this is definitely one of my favorite matchbox songs. the lyrics are awesome and really reflect something that i think a lot of ppl feel - - living a life that isn't necessarily fulfilling, but not doing anything about it because, well, you're used to it, and because sometimes it's a lot easier to fake what's normal than to face the reality of something different... but then reaching a point where you just can't take the bullshit anymore.

"don't think that i can take another empty moment, don't think that i can fake another hollow smile."

...makes you wanna make a change and get rid of some of the stupid shit in your own life... great song :o)

I think this song is about a guy who won't lie and be anything other who he is to please a girl. Thanks.

i think its about a guy having to pretend to be someone else so that he will be accepted by someone, probably a girlfriend, but cant take it anymore and is going to make an effort to stop and figure out who he really is... or something

this song just totally affected me, the first time i heard it, i mean damn. and then i listened to it when i was having an obsession with a guy, and it was like the only song i Would listen to, and the line "just like me, you got needs, and their only a whisper away" is so awesome.

this is just my opinion but i think its about a guy who's in a relationship with a girl & they aren't happy and they know it...but they fake it because they don't want to hurt the other person..."don't think i can fake another hollow smile" and "i don't wanna be the one who turns this whole thing over"...and then he finally decideds that he can't pretend to be happy any more and ends it despite his caring for the other person
