I'm not very bright but I know right from wrong
And I've not been right, for I don't know how long

I cry in my sleep, I laugh when you weep, I lie and I cheat
I talk with my feet, I'm running away, I'm lost and I long for oblivion

You gave me life, I gave you make believe
You wanted to be my wife, I wanted you to leave

I cry in my sleep, I laugh when you weep, I lie and I cheat
I talk with my feet, I'm running away, I'm lost and I long for oblivion

I took the darkest ways down and doubtful
“I'm sorry”, I heard you say, we can work it on

I cry in my sleep, I laugh when you weep, I lie and I cheat
I talk with my feet, I'm running away, I'm lost and I long for oblivion
