I Should Have Let You Sleep

I Should Have Let You Sleep

You were sleeping so hard
As the smoke filled your lungs
The flames licked at the door
Yet you snored on
I tried so hard to get you to wake
If I had known then what I know now
I would have let you sleep

Because you aren’t you who said you were
You aren’t who you pretended to be
You made me believe in something I wanted to be true
You made me think that we could be

I should have let you sleep
For all of the times you didn’t come home
For all of the times you stood there and lied to my face
I should have let you sleep
For all of the unforgivable things you said
And for all of the hateful things you did

Because I never liked the way you kiss
The bartender kisses better than you
And sex with you is a waste of time
You can blame me all you want
But we both know it was you

I should have let you sleep
