When You Sleep

Song When You Sleep
Artist Angie Hart
Album Eat My Shadow

Lyrics

I'm so sorry
I'm so stubborn
Deaf in one ear
And out the other
I'm just like my mother
And hers before hers before hers
I'm working so hard
To understand myself
I can't begin to know you
Though I've memorised your face
Beside me on the pillow
Dreaming of a super-hero
I wish I saw what you do when you sleep
In all my dreams I'm a helpless humiliated creep
I wish I was the girl behind your REM
Every day you look at me and tell me that I am
