When I Watch You Sleeping

When I watch you sleeping

I see myself for what I am

And the secret I've been keeping

It's more than I can stand

Well, I've tried but can't ignore

That I know that heaven's sore

That's why when I watch you sleeping, I cry

Ahh, mmm, oh

There's a number in my pocket

That I should really lose

And your picture in my locket

Smiles so warm and true

Oh, my heart grows ever-cold

At the thought of the lies I've told

That's why when I watch you sleeping, I cry

Ahh, mmm, oh

If I confess, would you forgive me?

Or if I pretend, will this emptiness always be with me?

When I hear you talking

With your unquestioning faith

I stop our eyes from meeting

I turn my face away

Why should you pay for the crime

When all the blame is mine?

That's why when I watch you sleeping, I cry

Ahh, mmm, oh

Ahh, mmm, oh
