So far away from the place where I feel safe
I can't recall the beauty in your face
The distance between us grows, it's dirty seeds
Spreading inside of me with every breath I breathe

While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping

A stranger for the night, so I don't wake up alone
To fake what we had but it doesn't feel like home
The distance between us grows, it's dirty seeds
Consuming my insides with every breath I breathe

While you were sleeping
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping

Don't look for me, don't wait for me
I've found my path
(While you were sleeping)
Over sticks and stones, over broken bones
I won't look back
There's a place for you somewhere in my heart
(While you were sleeping)
But that's the past

While you were sleeping
(While you were sleeping)
I was wandering with the lonely people
While you were sleeping
(While you were sleeping)
Trying to fill the void you've left
Life is short and the nights are long
And tonight I moved on
While you were sleeping
