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
Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
It's not enough just to be sorry
Don't think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away
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
Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where 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 of these winters we've made
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 am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this
I will 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
'Cause I am
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
Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
It's not enough just to be sorry
Don't think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away
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
Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where 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 of these winters we've made
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 am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this
I will 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
'Cause I am

In my imagination, the Girl is fake and the Guy see that this relationship is not going to last..."It's not enough just to be sorry, Don't think that I could take another talk about it"
It's over and the Guy isn't going to just sleep like nothings wrong anymore...
That's my take anyways.
this song is about a couple in a relationship where they both know that it is wrong, that they really don't belong with each other and have been faking it.
'Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile'
AND
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 awa
Singer has decided he won't fake it anymore but he doesn't want to rock the boat by expressing it but he really wants to:
Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong'
as the song progresses we see the struggle where he finds it hard to break it off and basically admits to needing her
I am all that I'll ever be
When you lay your hands
Over me
He also wants her to end it, he is weak and he needs her to be stronger and do it
But don't go weak on me, please
I know that it's weak
But God help me, I need this
And again he seems to want her to take the initiative and end it herself because it would be easier that way ( its almost like he is begging her to do it because he isn’t strong enough):
'So toss me out and turn in'
And finally singer has acknowledged this whole process as being a learning experience
Seems to be a theme of over dependence whether by both parties or by one
BEST GROUP IN THE WORLD
'
Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
I tried to be more than me
And I gave until it all went away
I also like how he's calling it a learning experience.
But my absolute favorite lyric is :
I know that it's weak
But God help me, I need this
I think this can relate to anything. To any type of crutch a person has that they know it makes them weak to need it, but they just can't help it.
Everyone has a band that seems to write about them and their lives.
Any breakup.
Any relationship.
Any situation.
Its rather amazing.
I just got Mad Season yesterday.
Pretty sure I'm in love with it.
Anyway- this song is as everyones saying- the relationship is turning into a lie and he doesn't think he can stand it any longer...
But he really wishes he could.
