Matchbox Twenty - Bed of Lies (Slideshow with Lyrics)

This is Bed of Lies off of Matchbox Twenty's second album Mad Season. Amazing song - but I wouldn't expect anything less :]
All credit goes to the members of Matchbox Twenty. - And songwriting credit goes to Rob Thomas and Matt Serletic.

Lyrics:

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am

I don't think that I can take another empty moment
I don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
It's not enough just to be lonely
I don't think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me you've got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away

But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
Cuz I can

I don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
I don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Well it's not enough just be sorry
Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in

Tried to be more than me
And I gave till it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part, yeah, of these winters that we've made

But I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm...

All that I'll ever be
When you lay your hands
Over me
And don't go weak on me please
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this

I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
Cuz I can

@standingontruth1 Go preach your religious beliefs somewhere else. No one wants to hear what you have to say...

[zpass05]

Very well done! One of my favorite song's by them, Matchbox Twenty is awesome!

Tää biisi on tavallaan sekä hyvä että huono..tuo muistot yli 25 vuoden huonosta suhteesta jossa toinen petti ja huijasi niin paljon että normaali ihminen ei ikinä kehtais:(. Kyseessä ihminen vailla mitään tunteita tai omaatuntoa. Täys narsisti.Onneksi on nyt loppu mutta jotenkin toisinaan on pakko kuunnella tää biisi että muistaa..eikä astuisi samaan lankaan enää koskaan. I'm happy now :)

[adorableCo]

cant stop listening to this

[62gratefulgirl]

the words of these songs are so strong. they should be put in to a book of poetry, cause that is what they are.

[standingontruth1]

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust you have committed adultery with here in your heart. have u done that?

If God judge’s u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? Does this concern you?

Do u need a Savior from your sins?

Jesus (The Son of God)came, lived a sinless life, died on the cross (for our sins) and rose again on the third day.needgod.com
