Sheets Lyrics

'Cause he's still coming around like an injured bird needing a nest
A place to rest his head in a song you'll regret
Still you take him, Lord knows I don't want to compete
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in

Swallow him whole like a pill that makes you choke, it steals your soul
You have the nerve to look me in the eyes and lie
Send him back, I won't share the trap that you have me in

Is he still coming around like an injured bird needing a nest?
A place to rest his head in a song you'll regret
Still you take him, Lord knows I don't want to compete
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in

Swallow him whole like a pill that makes you choke, steals your soul
You have the nerve to look me in the eyes and lie
Send him back, I won't share the trap that you have me in
(Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in)

What is the Meaning of Sheets?

Delving into the depths of emotional turmoil, this poignant track explores the pain of unfaithfulness. The lyrics convey the anguish of a person who finds themselves in a love triangle, competing with another for their partner's affection. The metaphor of an injured bird needing a nest signifies the returning lover who is welcomed back despite his infidelity. The reference to sleeping in the same sheets represents a deep sense of betrayal and hurt. The singer feels deceived and demands that his partner make a choice, refusing to continue being caught in this painful trap. This song is a raw depiction of heartbreak and jealousy, wrapped up in hauntingly beautiful music.
