We Are Only Human Once – She lyrics

I asked you how could you sleep at night?
You answered with both my eyes shut
How could you sleep with her right by your side
With the burning memory of what you’ve done?

Do you even care?
Do you even mind that you can not see what lies behind
The bruises on her face, even makeup doesn’t change
The impact that you made

She doesn’t even act like her anymore
We tried to lock you out but you kicked down the door

[Pause]

I asked you how could you sleep at night?
You answered with all the lights off
The clock strikes 12, you strike the clock
Is that the shit that gets you off?

My mother promised me, “in the coming years you will see less of him
And more of me, I just wish you could see how much he means to me
And all he does for me and all he does for you
He bought you that guitar, he put a roof on your head
He made sure you didn’t starve, he made sure you weren’t dead
So just excuse the black eye, go up and apologize for what you said to him, you made him fucking cry”

I asked you how could you sleep at night?
You answered with both my eyes shut
How could you sleep with her right by your side
With the burning memory of what you’ve done?
