Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart Lyrics

Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even in the bottom of the sea
I can 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 onto 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 can try sleeping in my bed
Lonely, only, nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown, you make 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 i knew right where I’d 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 onto the times that we had
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could have told you right from the start
It’s bout fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
Or just hold onto love
And I could 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 onto the times that we had
Tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it without you

    alicia u are the best singer , i really want to be like you!

  35. REETA Says:

    Alicia has always been one of my favorite artist, since Keys in A Minor… She has a powerful and good energy about her, that you can feel without having to physically be in her presence… Being multi-talented and a great performer, I think she is under-rated and under appreciated in the industry… She sings beautifully, from her soul and her heart and that makes her music so much more powerful… I hope that, once the Beyonce hype dies down, Alicia’s talent can shine and be appreciated once again by people who know and feel raw, God given talent… Natrual beauty, inside and outside with a humble spirit, she will be forever blessed and there is a place in heaven for her…

  36. shola Says:

    this song does stuffs beyond me to me, as far as am concern this is the bess song in the world, this song brings me out in everyway,makes me feel vulnarable emotionally, its just the bomb.

  37. SMX Says:

    This song AND this album deserve four stars out of four stars!! Each song expresses the right tone and melody for each topic that is given to her. She has the perfect voice and control to compose such great emotions in all of her songs. I love it so much because I can definitely feel these emotions when I listen to her album.

    This song is one of her songs that touch my heart the most. It relates to me so much. Many times I can help others, but I, being very helpful and blessed by everyone, cannot find a way to fix my own broken heart. Sometimes you got to understand to keep living and sharing the strong love that you have to others and to help them grow. This has help me find satisfactory in me because I am able to still love others. Alicia Keys did it again and had help me find a way to grow stronger and be independent from day to day.
