Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake, in the morning when you wake up
You won't have much but you'll have enough
When you are weakest, I'll be strong enough for you
Dream, yeah, the ones where you are fearless
Can't break what's broken, you are jealous
Steal back your innocence this world has stole from you
[Chorus]
You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
Not everything can be so black and white
There are demons in the broad daylight
But you can sleep like a baby tonight
[Verse 2]
Stop, where you stand right now, just stop
And don't think I'll look down at the drop
The people staring from the street don't know what you've got
[Chorus]
You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
No, not everything can be so black and white
There are demons in the broad daylight
But you can sleep like a baby tonight
[Bridge]
Oh
Oh, this weather do
What harms never do
When nobody can feel no one else's pain
[Chorus]
You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
Not everything can be so black and so white
There are demons in the broad daylight
You've got to sleep like a baby tonight
Sleep like a baby tonight
[Outro]
Where you stand, where you fall is where I kneel
To take your heart back to where you can feel
Like a child, child
[Verse 3]
It's like the room just cleared of smoke
I didn't even want the heart you broke
It's yours to keep, you just might need one
I finally found my real name
I won't be me when you see me again
Though I won't be my father's son
[Chorus]
I'm more than you know, I'm more than you see
More than you let me be
I'm more than you know, a body unsolved
You don't see me, but you will, I am not invisible
[Verse 4]
I don't dream, not as such
I don't even think about you that much
Unless I start to think at all
All those frozen days
And your frozen ways
They melt away your face like snow
[Chorus]
I'm more than you know, I'm more than you see
More than you let me be
I'm more than you know, a body unsolved
You don't see me, but you will, I am not invisible, I am here
[Outro]
There is no then, there is no then
There's only us, there's only us
There is no then, there is no then
There's only you and there's only me
There is no then, there is no then
There's only us, there's only us
There is no then, there is no then
There's only you and there's only me, there is no then
