Crying In Your Sleep

[Verse 1]
It's three a.m. and the room is still
I reach across and feel you trembling, cold
Your eyes are closed but the tears run down
Baby, what ghosts won't let go of you now
The men before me left a mark so deep
I hear it every night, crying in your sleep

[Chorus]
Crying in your sleep, love
And there's nothing I can do
But lay here in the darkness
And whisper I love you
They broke what I'm still mending
With every promise that I keep
Lord, help me be enough for her
She's crying in her sleep

[Verse 2]
I know your story, every chapter and scar
The one who lied, the one who went too far
You said you're fine, you learned to wear it well
But the night don't lie and neither does this hell
So I pull you close and I breathe you in
And I pray that healing finds you once again

[Chorus]
Crying in your sleep, love
And there's nothing I can do
But lay here in the darkness
And whisper I love you
They broke what I'm still mending
With every promise that I keep
Lord, help me be enough for her
She's crying in her sleep

[Bridge]
I'm not them
I need you to know
I'm not going anywhere
No matter how slow
Trust takes time
And love takes more
Baby I'll be here when you need more
I'm not them

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Some nights I just watch you
My hand in your hair
Wishing I could reach inside that dream
And tell you I'm right here
That the worst is finally over
You're finally safe and free
That whoever hurt you, baby
They don't get to keep this piece of me

[Final Chorus]
Crying in your sleep, love
But I'm right here with you
Laying in the darkness
Saying I love you
Every scar they gave you
I'll carry if you'll let me
God knows you deserve so much more
Than crying in your sleep

[Outro]
You're safe now, baby
You're safe now
I'm not going anywhere
Sleep, darlin'
Just sleep

[Tag]
You're safe in these arms tonight
No more fighting what used to be
You're safe now, baby
You're finally free
You're finally free

[Fade]
Sleep, darlin'
Just sleep
You're safe now
You're safe now
