I'm done hatin' myself for feelin' I'm done cryin' myself awake I've gotta leave and start the healin' But when you move like that, I just want to stay What have I become? Lookin' through your phone now, oh, now Love to you is just a game Look what I've done Dialing up the numbers on you I don't want my heart to break Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? All that shame and all that danger I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? All that fear and all that pressure I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight (Tell me how do you) Love will keep you up tonight (Tell me how do you) Oh no, how did I manage to lose me? I am not this desperate, not this crazy There's no way I'm stickin' 'round to find out I won't lose like that, I won't lose myself Look what I've done now Dialin' up the numbers on you I don't want my heart to break Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? All that shame and all that danger I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? All that fear and all that pressure I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight (Tell me how do you) Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Love will keep you up tonight (Tell me how do you) Oh Love will keep you up tonight Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? All that shame and all that danger I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? (oh) All that fear and all that pressure I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight (Tell me how do you)
