A rising suspicion
Has driven her to ask her self
Is there someone else he sees?
And does she satisfy all of his needs?
[Pre-chorus 1:]
He comes home late from work
She turns the light off after 10
He enters without a word
Her patience starts to wear again
Her assumptions deceive her eyes
[Chorus:]
She sleeps with one eye closed at night
She keeps her arms around him tight
With hope that she will wake up lying next to him
She sleeps with one eye closed at night
She keeps him always in her sight
But when he's gone, his absence makes her whole world spin
Deciding her mission
In a plot at his expense
With all her spiteful plans
His life is stuck between her hands
[Pre-chorus 2:]
She pretends like nothing's wrong
He's quick to dismiss every sign
This has lasted way too long
He still thinks that everything is fine
Her assumptions deceive her eyes
[Bridge 1:]
She can't, accept
He was always faithful
He won't, expect
An act this hateful
[Bridge 2:]
Suffocate, your love
He'll never sleep with someone new
Suffocate, your love
He'll always be there next to you
And if he never sees another day
At least you know he'll always stay with you
Suffocate, your love
He'll never wake again
[Last Chorus:]
She slept with one eye closed at night
She kept her arms around him tight
But now she knows she'll wake up lying next to him
She slept with one eye closed at night
She kept him always in her sight
But now she knows he'll never leave her side ever
Again, never, again, never, again
