"How Can You Sleep" lyrics
(feat. Olivia O'Brien)
[Olivia O'Brien:]
How can you sleep?
Made the game so easy, you still found a way to cheat
Cut my heart in half then ran off with the other piece
I can't take you back again, I kept all the receipts
So tell me how you sleep
How can you sleep?
Said I was the one, but you still pick the two and three
Workin' on myself and what you said I couldn't be
Scared to go to bed 'cause I might see you in my dreams
So tell me how you sleep
[G-Eazy:]
Yeah, truth is I don't
I say that I'll move on from you, but the truth is, I won't
Bloodshot eyes and dark circles don't happen on their own
Keep pacin' 'round this house I always thought we'd make our home, uh
Keep feelin' further and further from you
'Cause hurtin' you is hurtin' me too
The person I knew when we met's not who I'm lookin' at
I hate the fact I played a part, this ain't the best version of you
It happened quick, now we're both lovesick
I said I want you back, you said you need time to think
I told you I had issues, you said I make you sick
You asked me how I sleep, truth is I ain't had a wink
I ain't sleepin'
[Olivia O'Brien (G-Eazy):]
I hope you cry, I hope it hurts
I hope the tears you bottled up, they burst
(Probably what I deserve)
I hope you choke on all your empty words
Must be better off 'cause you can't get worse
(Can't get worse)
[Olivia O'Brien:]
How can you sleep?
Said I was the one, but you still pick the two and three
Workin' on myself and what you said I couldn't be
Scared to go to bed 'cause I might see you in my dreams
So tell me how you sleep
I hope you can't sleep, can't eat, can't remember how to breathe
Every time you think about us
I hope it still hurts sober, drinkin' only makes it worse
Every time you think about us
[G-Eazy:]
She asked, "How do you sleep at night? How you find peace at night?
Must be countin', countin', countin', counting sheep each night"
Been on the phone for hours, ain't asked one thing about me all night
You say I stole your heart away, but you know I'm a thief in the night
I know I, I know I, I know I can be narcissistic
I know I can lose the plot sometimes and go ballistic
I know I can white lie and sometimes I'm cryptic
But I know I want this for real, but it's unrealistic
Uh
It's unrealistic
[Olivia O'Brien (G-Eazy):]
I hope you cry, I hope it hurts
I hope the tears you bottled up, they burst
(But I keep holdin' on)
I hope you choke on all your empty words
(Just don't let go)
Must be better off 'cause you can't get worse
(I need you back)
[Olivia O'Brien:]
How can you sleep?

Workin' on myself and what you said I couldn't be

I hope you can't sleep, can't eat, can't remember how to breathe
Every time you think about us
I hope it still hurts sober, drinkin' only makes it worse
Every time you think about us
[G-Eazy:]
If only I could
Sleepless nights just starin' at the ceilin'
I wish I could turn my brain off
Shame
How can you sleep?
Made the game so easy, you still found a way to cheat
Cut my heart in half then ran off with the other piece
I can't take you back again, I kept all the receipts
So tell me how you sleep
