Lyrics
[verse]
Three a.m. and the ceiling's all I see
Counting cracks instead of counting sheep
Every time I close my eyes I find your face
Haunting every quiet corner of this place
[verse]
I turn the pillow over, hoping for the cold side
Hoping it'll trick my heart, hoping I can hide
From the fact that mornings come and you're still gone
Nights just keep on stretching till the dawn
[chorus]
Try sleeping with a heart that's split in two
Try closing eyes still seeing you
The clock don't stop, the dark don't end
Try sleeping with a heart that just won't mend
[verse]
Friends keep saying time will ease it all
But time moves slow when you're staring at the wall
I count the hours like they're all I've got
Wondering if this feeling's ever gonna stop
[chorus]
Try sleeping with a heart that's split in two
Try closing eyes still seeing you
The clock don't stop, the dark don't end
Try sleeping with a heart that just won't mend
[bridge]
Maybe by the morning light
I'll find a way to make it through the night
Maybe one day I'll sleep clean and deep
But not tonight, not while I still weep
[chorus]
Try sleeping with a heart that's split in two
Try closing eyes still seeing you
The clock don't stop, the dark don't end
Try sleeping with a heart that just won't mend
