Lyrics: Courtney Jaye. Traveling Light. Can You Sleep.

Was it that hard
To give me away?
Are you that easily persuaded
By a memory that's faded like a card?

Left out in the rain
And tears will fall like ink right off the page

Tell me, can you sleep at night
Knowing I'm awake
When you turn out the light?
Did you think that I was gonna be alright
Kicked out of your life?
Now tell me, can you sleep at night?

Do you think of me
When you're with her?
Is she filling all the blanks in
'Til the temporary space is empty again?

Just like you are
And now you'll have to smile and just pretend

So tell me, can you sleep at night
Knowing I'm awake
When you turn out the light?
Did you think that I was gonna be alright
Pushed out of your life?
And tell me, can you sleep?

But all this time we've wasted
And you were all I thought about
And this bitter pill, I'm tasting
Well, it's time to spit it out, oh no, no, no

Can you sleep at night
Knowing I'm awake
When you turn out the light?
Did you think that I was gonna be alright
Shut out of your life?
And tell me, can you sleep?

Tell me, can you sleep at night?

Jaye, Courtney
