Apple, Fiona - Sleep To Dream Lyrics






I tell you how I feel
But you don't care
I say tell me the truth
But you don't dare
You say love is a hell
You cannot bear
And I say gimme mine
Back and then go there
For all I care
I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go to
Sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds
And you're not at
All what you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

I have never been
So insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas
To wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool
Just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool
But you just run to hide
And I can't abide

I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go
To sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds and
You're not at all
What you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

Don't make it a big deal
Don't be so sensitive
We're not playing
A game anymore
You don't have
To be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case
Don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face
'Cause it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock
From under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave
And all the stakes you claim
And don't forget the blame

I got my feet
On the ground
And I don't go
To sleep to dream
You got your head
In the clouds and
You're not at all
What you seem
This mind, this body
And this voice cannot be
Stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget
What I told you
Don't come around
I got my own hell to raise

  37. S.... ....

    Preach it sis

  38. s.... ....

    Интересная девушка. И песня тоже понравилась!!

  39. F.... F....

    Is this literally the anthem sung to the guy who raped her?

  40. J.... A....

    If you put this on over a Billie Eilish song it makes Billie more tolerable.

  41. T.... E....

    Billie Eilish should be sending her big checks and saying thank you Fiona

  42. T.... A....

    I love classic Fiona.

  43. K.... G....

    Why thumbs down? She's more authentic than the synthetic women around...

  44. d.... ....

    Still love her and this song, one of my favorite artist.. She's a brilliant musician ...

  45. J.... S....

    Big Mood Song

  46. G.... T....

    I was 21 when this came out and trust me her feelings at 19 are truly validated as I was 21 feeling the exact same way when I heard this song I think I was the only one who got it in my circle of friends 😂

  47. H.... H....

    She was hot back then.

  48. s.... ....

    Whatever happened to her? I loved her in the 90’s!

  49. R.... g....

    fionna apple plus jack white as a couple. deepest pair ever. they don't write shitty music that means nothing. their catalog of music is timeless regardless if played on the radio or not. alternative, indie whatever you want 2 call it. i want 2 go back 2 to that innocent time in my life when i was naive and didn't know any better.

  50. a.... 8....

    I always thought of Fiona Apple as Alanis Morrisette's naughty bad little sister.

    a.... 8....

    fap fuel for the 90s

  51. a.... s....

    You're a "loser" too. Quit judging. Or keep it to yourself. Thanks for the compliment. Its nice of you to try to build me up. But i can handle it. Why didn't you let me get thst message? Asshole. U sure ger alot of free help. J NEVER get any. My inheritance was stolen. Cps costing $180,000? No. All the hotels. Lock changes. PIs. Sky high utilitues. U sure like free.

  52. H.... ....

    I miss the '90s

  53. s.... ....

    I always wanted Fiona and Tom Waits to do a song together.

  54. A.... A....

    Just the title is truth

  55. e.... h....

    i’m so glad i grew up during the 90s and had fiona apple, alanis morrisette, tori amos, gwen stefani of no doubt, mazzy star and soooo many other talented female singer song writers to listen to.

  56. A.... B....

    The 90s was truly the only decade to never die

  57. j.... a....

    im a beatles fan from when i was a child....50 years ago i was 6 years old singing come together........since 1980ish ..music hasnt done much for me and only a few artists have struck a chord over the past 40 years....fiona is one of them. ....go fiona you are great.

    j.... a....

    Have you heard her cover of 'Across The Universe'? I usually don't care for Beatles covers but that one was beautiful.

  58. v.... ....

    My fave song from "Tidal". Cannot wait for her next album!

  59. L.... T....

    I feel personally victimized by these lyrics

  60. L.... ....

    Lyrics

    I tell you how I feel, 
    But you don't care
    I say tell me the truth, 
    But you don't dare
    You say love is a hell 
    You cannot bear
    And I say 
    "Give me mine back and 
    Then go there
    For all I care"

    I got my feet
    On the ground
    And I don't go to
    Sleep to dream
    You got your head
    In the clouds
    And you're not at all
    What you seem
    This mind, 
    This body and this voice 
    Cannot be stifled 
    By your deviant ways
    So don't forget what I told you; 
    Don't come around, 
    I got my own hell to raise

    I have never been so 
    Insulted in all my life
    I could swallow the seas 
    To wash down all this pride
    First you run like a fool 
    Just to be at my side
    And now you run like a fool 
    But you just run to hide
    And I can't abide

    I got my feet
    On the ground
    And I don't go to
    Sleep to dream
    You got your head
    In the clouds
    And you're not at all
    What you seem
    This mind, 
    This body and this voice 
    Cannot be stifled 
    By your deviant ways
    So don't forget what I told you; 
    Don't come around, 
    I got my own hell to raise

    Don't make it a big deal, 
    Don't be so sensitive
    We're not playing a game anymore
    You don't have to be so defensive

    Huh
    Huh
    Huh

    Don't you plead me your case, 
    Don't bother to explain
    Don't even show me your face, 
    Cause it's a crying shame
    Just go back to the rock from 
    Under which you came
    Take the sorrow you gave 
    And all the stakes you claim
    And don't forget the blame

    I got my feet
    On the ground
    And I don't go to
    Sleep to dream
    You got your head
    In the clouds
    And you're not at all
    What you seem
    This mind, 
    This body and this voice 
    Cannot be stifled

    So don't forget what I told you; 
    Don't come around, 
    I got my own hell to raise

    I got my feet
    On the ground
    And I don't go to
    Sleep to dream
    You got your head
    In the clouds
    And you're not at all
    What you seem
    This mind, 
    This body and this voice 
    Cannot be stifled 
    By your deviant ways
    So don't forget what I told you; 
    Don't come around, 
    I got my own hell to raise

    Eh
    Eh
    Ooh
    Ooh

  64. I.... *....

    Don't ya plead me your case~ don't bother to explain~don't even show me your face, because it's a crying shame~just go back to the rock from under which you came~take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claimed~and don't forget the BLAME.

    There is a Whitney Houston song, which.... I can’t recall the name.... she’s a couple, with a black-man, possibly playing the role of the producer on her video. She’s singing to him. Which song is it? The computer removed from YouTube as far as I can tell. Computer will not telepathy me.

    T.... C....

    The song is SAVING ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU.

    OUTSTANDING.

  74. T.... B....

    I FOUND IT, ON GOD, I'VE FOUND IT AND I CAN FINALLY REST EASY.

  75. s.... ....

    Boring.

  76. J.... D....

    Tarnished

    Last on the list.
    Pleasing others.
    I'm last on the list.
    Carrying pain, I still have a spark.
    That precious glitter.
    More than gold.
    Blind to it.
    After pleasing others, I'm just extra work.
    Moonlighting isn't for you.
    The last on the list isn't for me.

  77. �.... ....

    it's PSG!!!

  88. M.... R....

    Billie eyelash of the 90s

  89. L.... G....

    0:59 as anorexic as she tried to be, shots like this must have made her so depressed.

  91. A.... L....

    When I first heard her - I HATED HER - "What's HER problem?" I thought. Now, I GET IT. 20 yrs. LATER! - way ahead of her time!.
    "This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you - don't come around -
    I got my own HELL to raise" "Don't plead me your case, don't bother to explain, don't show me your face, coz it's a crying SHAME Just go back to the rock from under which you came - take the SORROW you gave and all the stakes you claim - and don't forget the BLAME - I got my feet on the ground - and I don't go to sleep to DREAM" Now, I understand. She was HEARTBROKEN
