While You Were Sleeping lyrics

*Lyrics saved from the Target Exclusive Booklet*

While you were sleeping
You looked so peaceful
I quietly kissed your cheek
And your steady breathing
Said you were dreaming
So I tiptoed out the door
While you were sleeping

I backed up the U-Haul
I couldn't quite get it all
Just the clothes and the kids
And the money that you hid
That you thought I'd never find
Quiet as a church mouse
'til I slammed the door on our house
To let you know I was leaving
While you were sleeping

While you were sleeping, I was needing
You to just wake up and be a man
But your lying, drinking, cheating
Breaking my heart ways
Was more than I couldn't stand
But I could stand alone
There's only one way to know
I backed up the U-Haul
I couldn't quite get it all
Just the clothes and the kids
And the money that you hid
That you thought I'd never find
Quiet as a church mouse
'til I slammed the door on our house
To let you know I was leaving
While you were sleeping

While you were sleeping I was driving
Further than I ever have before
And those babies in the backseat
Reminding me of what I'm driving for
I wish I could've stayed
But you wouldn't change

I backed up the U-Haul
I couldn't quite get it all
Just the clothes and the kids
And the money that you hid
That you thought I'd never find
Quiet as a church mouse
'til I slammed the door on our house
To let you know I was leaving
While you were sleeping
Quiet as a church mouse
'til I slammed the door on our house
To let you know I was leaving
While you were sleeping
To let you know I was leaving
While you were sleeping
