Will you keep in mind
That all these fables I will lay out
Are dressed in disguise
So lay me down
Lay me down

Will you keep in mind
That all the lies that I will try
To sell you tonight
Dont weigh me down
Dont weigh me down

Oh, Ive been sleeping with Hope
That these stars will carry me
Away from all the vanity

Oh, Ive been trading my Love
For a glimpse of what is real
Cause its not how its supposed to feel

Youre just in time
To take my mind and
Cast the hurt that Ive held aside
So lay me down
Lay me down

Youve read my mind
Turning pages you will find that
These flaws shine so bright
Tell me now
Please tell me now

That these stars will carry me
Away from all the vanity

Oh, Ive been trading my Love
For a glimpse of what is real
Cause its not how its supposed to feel

I remember a heart that would race
And I remember when love set the pace
These words I will scream
They wont bring the light back

I remember strength once by my side
And I remember the tears that Ive cried
When this is over
Forgive me, Ill plead

Oh, Ive been sleeping with Hope
That these stars will carry me
Away from all the vanity

Oh, Ive been trading my Love
For a glimpse of what is real
Cause its not how its supposed to feel

Ive been sleeping with Hope
