I Let You Sleep Lyrics

I got kind of excited when I saw you lying there
and I let you sleep

I didn't disturb your peaceful rest,
I know you need it, and I know its best
I left you where you were

Didn't mean to wake you, if I did then I'm surprised
Because when I looked into your eyes to analyze the situation
I concluded it was fair to keep you there and not to make a sound

I let you sleep, that's how much I care

The impulse was deep to wake you and shake you
but I just went on my way
I'd see you some other day

How much respect are we gonna bet is in everyday people?
How do you dare to even compare how much I know you to that?
And what does it mean when we're on separate teams fighting to the death?

I watched your breathing,
I left you sleeping
And I won't be there
when you open your eyes

The impulse was deep to wake you and shake you
but I just went on my way

I got kind of excited when I saw you lying there
and I watched you sleep
