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.
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)
