The one thing We can't ever change is free will We can't dwell on it Even though it gets hard to breathe It feels heavy on me, it feels heavy But I'll sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight A dark cloud hangs over things that you said Sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight Knowing I can't let it get in my head Oh, whatever's gonna be, let it happen Oh, can't control what cannot be contained Oh, and when you're left for dead, show 'em what's left Oh, when it's dark you cannot be afraid Can't explain How people change From so close to so far away It's so fast How it can go from a Dream to a nightmare But I'll sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight Knowing that I can depend on myself Sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight Knowing that I won't be anyone else Oh, whatever's gonna be, let it happen Oh, can't control what cannot be contained Oh, and when you're left for dead, show 'em what's left Oh, when it's dark you cannot be afraid But I'll sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight Knowing that I can depend on myself Sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight Knowing that I won't be anyone else Oh, whatever's gonna be, let it happen Oh, can't control what cannot be contained Oh, and when you're left for dead, show 'em what's left Oh, when it's dark you cannot be afraid When it's dark you cannot be afraid!
