Lungs Lyrics by What We Lost

Pretend to Sleep (EP)

2020

[Verse 1]
Will I forget all the times you held my hand?
Just to let me know that you'd stay five minutes more
I know that you will leave as soon as I fall asleep
And I'll pretend that you've stayed here all night long

[Chorus]
I spent all mornings staring at the ceiling
Wishing not to dream again
I still see you in my sleep, stuck in my dreams
Afraid, again
‘Cause I'm miles away from home and this room is my hell

[Verse 2]
Will I forget all the times you held my hand?
Just to let me know that you'd stay five minutes more
But wait until I fall asleep tonight
‘Cause I'm miles away from home

[Bridge]
I'm not even able to lift my head
I'm laying on the carpet with dust in my lungs
I never asked you to understand
But I always hoped you would
I never asked you to understand
But I always hoped you would
