a sleeping heart
feels no pain
lost in it's dreams
it's born again

but a sleeping heart
can not share
if you look close
nobody's there

a sleeping heart
feels no pain
lost in it's dreams
it's free again

but a sleeping heart
can not care
if you look close
nobody's there

drowning in tears it keeps hiding
afraid of trust and confiding
fighting the truth it's denying
if it says it's awake, it's lying

for a sleeping heart
lives in dreams
nothing is real
nothings as it seems

in a sleeping heart
there's just one tone
the sorry sound
of being alone

if you wake a sleeping heart
beware of fear
beware of the defenses
all the pain put there

if you shake a sleeping heart
it might strike you
and blame you for the memories
that are black and blue
the crimes against humanity
and betrayals it's been through
that's why it's sleeping
just to make it through
one more day...
lost among the sleeping hearts
feeling nothing's new
wondering why it's still alone too
sound familiar, maybe
there's a sleeping heart in you

a sleeping heart
runs away
when it gets real
there's nothing to say

a sleeping heart
is afraid to play
the game of love
fear gets in the way
and the pain buried deep in yesterday
going through the motions
high above the fray
a sleeping heart is safe
a sleeping heart will stay
but a sleeping heart is alone
no matter what games it may play
two sleeping hearts may get along
and really seem to care
but if you look close
nobody's there

both very alone
and far away
sleeping just to
make it through the day

a sleeping heart
may disappear
if you look close
nobody's there
