Lyrics
She's crying herself to sleep every night
She experiences emotional distress and cries herself to sleep regularly.
Til her eyes shut and find better times
She continues crying until she falls asleep, hoping for better times.
She wakes when she dreams
She becomes aware and alert in her dreams.
Sleeps when she wakes
During waking hours, she finds solace in sleep, perhaps as an escape.
now sleep my sweet girl
A soothing and comforting expression to encourage peaceful sleep.
And dream of better days
Encouraging her to dream of better days during her sleep.
nothing it seems went according to plan
Reflecting on a sense of disappointment as things didn't go as planned.
Who are we kidding, there never was a plan
Acknowledging the absence of a concrete plan, perhaps in life or relationships.
We followed our instincts
Choosing paths based on instinct, though it leads to undesirable outcomes.
In the worst kind of ways
Regret for following instincts in a negative or harmful manner.
now sleep my sweet girl
Reiterating the wish for her to sleep peacefully and dream of better days.
And dream of better days
Continuing the encouragement for positive dreams during sleep.
she sits and the bar, and smiles and she drinks
Describing her socializing at a bar, possibly using it as an escape.
She talks the whole night
She engages in conversation throughout the night.
Never says what she means
Suggesting she avoids expressing her true feelings during conversations.
She'll fight when she's drunk
Implies she may become confrontational when under the influence of alcohol.
We stay outta the way
Others avoid her when she's drunk, possibly due to her behavior.
now sleep my sweet girl
Repeating the wish for her to sleep and dream positively.
And dream of better drays
Continuing the emphasis on dreaming of better days during sleep.
she wears a sorrow her beauty can't hide
Highlighting that her beauty cannot hide the inner sorrow she carries.
I pray she sheds it and sleeps the whole night
Expressing a hope that she can overcome her sorrow and sleep peacefully.
She wakes when she dreams
Reiterating that she becomes awake and alert in her dreams.
She sleeps when she wakes
Contrasting that she sleeps during waking hours, possibly indicating emotional numbness.
now sleep my sweet girl
Repeating the comforting expression, urging her to sleep and dream positively.
And dream of better days
Emphasizing the desire for her to dream of better days during her sleep.
