Smile in Your Sleep - Silverstein

When I’m lying in your bed play the motions through my head

you know that I’m thinking, I’m thinking…

and I have reasons to believe that I’m not the only

one you spend this time with, but I’ll stay…

You say, you’re weak,

you wont let me down

you lie through your teeth

you smile in your sleep

When we met you said we were the same, you know

that we’re different, we’re different,

and all the times you promised me that everything would

work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken

You lie, you lie through your teeth

you wont let me down, you lie

I deserve better than this

I dream of steel.

Maroon and warm, your end.

You gasp for air.

I’ll see this through,

I’ll see through you, your pale blue eyes.

When you’re lying in your bed, your eulogy’s been read

You know that it’s fitting, you lie.

You smile I deserve better than this
