Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jealousy is killing me, it's too much to dismiss
I don't wanna die, but I don't wanna live like this
Honestly, I'd rather be asleep not feel a thing
I don't like how it goes, but I still go there, I'll admit
Baby (Baby)
It's hard to see a way out (Compare myself to many men)
It's hard to see a way out (Many nights spent hating on them)
It's hard for me to see a way out
Now and then
I'm alright in the end
[Verse 2]
When misery is running me and ruling how I feel
I'm not satisfied, I need a change of pace, for real
I'm on my feet, I'm semi-clean
I'm miles from where I've been
I'm missing you tonight, I hope you're cosy in the sheets
But, girl, when I act like this it isn't fair, no
You know I do it when I'm feeling scared, baby
I'm stressing out, pulling out my hair, yeah
And I'm imagining the worst, but the worst never comes, I'm aware
[Refrain]
I hope you're sleeping well (I do)
I hope you're sleeping well
I hope you're sleeping well, over there
I'm thinking of you, hoping you're in peace
Hope you know just how much I care
[Verse 3]
I really hope you're sleeping well
I'm excited just for waking up and to see
How your night sleep was
Breakfast, dawn, I stretch and yawn, I'll start the day by texting you
Good morning, babe, how you feeling?
I wish that I had woken next to you, but either way
I'm happy just to see your name
Appearing on my phone
I get that feeling once again
And then my smile starts to grow
Now I'm thinking through what to say
Yeah, I get jealous as fuck
And no, it doesn't feel great
But I'm still with you, and that's all that I can know right now, hey
Tomorrow might not be here
I swear that I can make a change
Why waste the time we have, my dear?
I'll make a change
No need for jealousy today
[Outro]
I hope you sleep well, my babe
Goodnight
