Only After You Sleep

[Verse 1] I only tell the truth after you’re gone When the room gets quiet and the lights are low Sober me? You can’t trust a single word I say I’m just another ghost fading in the afterglow [Pre-Chorus] If I tell you I’m good, baby, don’t believe the lie Means I survived another night, barely alive Pop another one just to kill the feeling Heart’s still bleeding, but I’m too numb to cry [Chorus] Yeah, I’m fine… ( I’m lying ) I’m fine… ( I’m dying slow ) Made it through the dark again But you’ll never know. [Verse 2] I only get honest when you’re sleeping When the mask slips off and the demons start speaking If I say I’m okay, just know I’m breaking Another night I faked it for the taking [Pre-Chorus] So don’t ask me how I’m holding up I’ll smile through the pain, pour another cup Truth only comes out when you’re not around Baby, that’s the only way I don’t drown [Chorus] Yeah, I’m fine… (but I’m lying) I’m fine… ( I’m barely trying ) Made it to the morning light Still pretending I’m surviving [Post-Chorus] I only tell the truth after you sleep… Only after you sleep… ( Only after you sleep ) [Final Chorus] I’m lying to myself poison on the shelf Made it through another war inside my head You wake up, and I’m already dead Yeah, I’m fine… ( don’t look too close ) I’m fine… ( I’m a ghost ) Crawling to the sunrise chasing smoke and lies Still pretending there’s light behind my eyes [Post-Chorus] Oh, only after you Only after you Only after you I only tell the truth when you can’t see When the night belongs to me Only after you Only after you sleep
