[Verse 1]
Givin' the time to cut the rope
You tie the [?] around me
Lookin' for other hands to hold
But nothing ever goes deep
I'm seein' your face, I'm hearin' your name
Everywhere I go
I'm not the only one to blame
'Cause I gave you more than I took

[Pre-Chorus]
I heard your song on the radio yesterday
Stopped the car and turned around
In my head, still with you now

[Chorus]
Are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own
So, are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own
I'm pickin' up the phone
But every time I got a lump
But every time I got a lump
In my throat, my throat
Are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own

[Verse 2]
Gonna clear my mind
But I can only think of you
I know it's not my place
But does she know you like I do?
I need you to be honest
So I keep movin' on
Maybe if I know she's there
Swear I'm movin' on

[Pre-Chorus]
I heard your song on the radio yesterday
Stopped the car and turned around
In my head, still with you now

[Chorus]
Are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own
So, are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own
I'm pickin' up the phone
But every time I got a lump
But every time I got a lump
In my throat, my throat
Are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own

[Bridge]
Can't have you sleeping
Sleeping alone
I never want you sleeping
Sleeping alone
Can't have you sleeping
Sleeping alone
I never want you sleeping
Sleeping alone
Can't have you sleeping
Sleeping alone
I never want you sleeping
Sleeping alone
Can't have you sleeping
Sleeping alone
I never want you sleeping
Sleeping alone

[Chorus]
Are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own
So, are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own
I'm pickin' up the phone
But every time I got a lump
But every time I got a lump
In my throat, my throat
Are you sleeping alone?
Are you sleeping alone?
'Cause I'm not ready, not ready
To be sleeping on my own

[Outro]
Can't have you sleeping
Sleeping alone
I never want you sleeping
Sleeping alone
Can't have you sleeping
Sleeping alone
I never want you sleeping
Sleeping alone
