Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Telling me, touch me, feel me
And all the time, you were telling me lies
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me, need me?
I thought you told me you'd never leave me
Looking in the sky, I can see your face
And then I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love with you
Right 'til the end
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart
So rather than hold on to a broken dream, I'll just hold on to love
And I can find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight
So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had
Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart is written by Alicia J. Augello-cook, Patrick Reynolds, Jeffrey Nath Bhasker. It is first released on November 27, 2009 as part of Alicia Keys's album "The Element of Freedom" which includes 14 tracks in total. This song is the 3rd track on this album. When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, the Alicia Keys song ‘Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart’ dramatizes through metaphors like the singer feeling his partner's presence even when they are apart that he is in deep emotional pain due to the partnership breakup. It shows how difficult it is to endure heartbreak and how one is determined to find a way to get over it no matter how deep the pain is. The song lyrics try sleeping with a broken heart keep turning around the themes of heartbreak, love, angst, empowerment, and despair. At the same time, it also highlights the concepts of heartbreak and loss, moving on and resilience. The lyrics are full of themes of heartbreak and emotional struggle that are maybe not very suitable for the youngest children to hear. There are some mature themes connected to relationships and feelings of loneliness, but there is nothing explicit, such as language, violence, or drug use, in the song. Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart falls under the genres R&B, Soul.
