Sleep Mode Suzan Stroud
Verse 1
I open up my heart up
But it’s a mistake
It’s so easily broken
Too fragile to save
I tell it to toughen up
To start being brave
It never listens
It won’t behave
Chorus
I put my heart into sleep mode
‘Cause it won’t’ do what it is told
I tell it that it shouldn’t care
But it can’t help but feel
When it’s aware
Verse 2
For you to be happy
Is all that I need
I know I should stop how
I people please
I tell my heart to let it go
I don’t need approval
But it holds on
Expecting it to change is futile
Chorus
ell it that it shouldn’t care
But it can’t help but feel
When it’s aware
Verse 3
Life would be simple
If I could feel with my brain
My logic would save me
It would keep my heart sane
I could be my ideal
Control how I feel
It would be perfect
Bridge
Emotions can stay
Tucked safe away
Silently behind the scenes
Actions will be
What speaks for me
And whether my heart
Is awake or asleep
I can control
Who I’ll be
Tag
What they see
Who I’ll be
