sleep in the middle

bad ass decisions made from a fear of being alone all by myself again

sitting in the den and looking at the phone

as if it owes. owes me a favor

as i reverse my earlier making of a king-sized bed

and as a queen without a king

now i realize

i'd rather sleep in the middle. middle of my bed

alone and not hurting over you

that's better than sleeping on the side crying at night

silently watching you sleep

i'd rather sleep in the middle

now you think i'm jealous of her

but she's probably jealous of me because i'm free

i am free of you

i know you're crazy about her

and you'll continue to be until she falls deep in love with you

'cause it pleases you to love someone who don't love you

it's the getting

not the having that pleases you

i'd rather sleep in the middle. middle of my bed

alone and not hurting over you

that's better than sleeping on the side crying at night

silently watching you sleep

i'd rather sleep in the middle

'cause it pleases you to love someone who don't love you

it's the getting

not the having that pleases. you!

i'd rather sleep in the middle. middle of my bed

alone and not hurting over you

that's better than sleeping on the side crying at night

silently watching you sleep

i'd rather sleep in the middle

i'd rather sleep in the middle

i'd rather sleep in the middle

i'd rather sleep in the middle

i'd rather sleep in the middle
