Lyrics Shelby Lynne

Shelby Lynne

I'll Lie Myself To Sleep

I tell myself his mem'ry doesn't hold me

But there's a picture of the man I say I'm over

By my bed, face down my bed

I'm so glad that broken heart's behind me

And I no longer let his love confine me

Now I'm free, this prisoner's finally free

But I don't need flowers, sweet talk

To fill wee hours of the night, now I'm alright

I lay down each night and turn out the light

And tell myself that I'm not lonely

With tears rollin' down my face, I'll lie myself to sleep

The girls down at the office think I'm so strong

And though my heart is breakin' I'm not lettin' on

What's inside, oh, I keep it all inside

A delivery boy brings in a dozen roses

And as I watch some lucky girl unfold them

I walk away, in tears I walk away

But I don't need flowers, sweet talk

To fill wee hours of the night, now I'm alright

I lay down each night and turn out the light

And tell myself that I'm not lonely

With tears rollin' down my face, I'll lie myself to sleep

I'll lie myself to sleep, ooh, I'll lie myself to sleep
