"sleep at night" lyrics

"sleep at night"

I wanna say, "I hate you" but I won't
I wanna call you out but I could never
I wanna be the worst but still, I won't

'Cause my mum said, "If you can't be nice, don't say anything at all"
And I blocked you, even if you wanted to, you couldn't even call
Wasted two good years of my life, but I guess I'll

Be the bigger person
Swallow my pride, hold it inside, and
Even though it's hurtin'
I'll take the road that's high
While you get to sleep at night, how do you sleep at night?
You get to sleep at night, how do you sleep at night?

There's a million and one things I could do
But I would never write a mean song about you
You're lucky that I didn't think it through

'Cause my sister told me, "You're too good, too good to be true" (Ooh, ooh)
And I wish I listened back then, but I put my faith in you (Ooh, ooh)
Wasted two good years of my life, but I guess I'll

Be the bigger person
Swallow my pride, hold it inside, and
Even though it's hurtin'
I'll take the road that's high
While you get to sleep at night, how do you sleep at night?
You get to sleep at night, how do you sleep at night?

This is all you get, three minutes or less then I'll put it to bed, I'll put it to
This is all you get, three minutes or less then I'll put it to bed

I'll be the bigger the person
Swallow my pride, hold it inside, and
Even though it's hurtin' (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'll take the road that's high
While you get to sleep at night, how do you sleep at night?
You get to sleep at night, how do you sleep at night?
