You Slept Just Fine

Time Signature: 4/4
Artist's Description
“You Slept Just Fine” is the autopsy of a relationship: slow, quiet, and inevitable. Two people still share a house, a bed, and perhaps even a routine, but they no longer share any real connection. The song unfolds like grief that has already gone dry. There is no begging, no blame, and no dramatic outburst—just the heavy weight of everything left unsaid.
The speaker no longer asks for anything, because they have already stopped hoping. Each verse walks through the remains of a shared life, pointing out the subtle signs of emotional withdrawal: unanswered questions, empty gestures, and the absence of real conversation. Regrets are folded and left out in the open, like laundry waiting for someone to notice.
The chorus is not a plea; it is a stark declaration. “Stay, if you must. Leave, if you can.” The words are stripped of emotion, resigned to the reality that the end has already taken place. This is not a breakup in progress. This is the aftermath. By the time the listener reaches the final lines—“Say whatever helps you sleep. You always slept just fine.”—it is clear that the speaker has already left emotionally, even if they remain physically present. The person they once loved w

You Slept Just Fine


(Verse 1)

I left the front light on
in case you needed a reason to return
I didn’t ask if you were coming back
I took off my shoes
I opened the mail
Junk, mostly—nothing worth keeping

(Verse 2)
You move through the house like a guest
who knows the place too well to be polite
You fold your regrets
and leave them where I’ll find them—
neatly placed beside everything we stopped saying

(Chorus)
Stay, if it feels easier than leaving
Stay, if pretending is what we do now
I won’t ask you to go
But I won’t ask you to stay either
That part’s on you.


(Bridge)
I won’t be the one to make the choice
I’ve already done that too many times
How long can you hover between staying and leaving
It isn’t a question anymore

(Chorus)
Stay, if you must
Leave, if you can
I won’t stand in the way
There’s nothing left here for you to wait on

(Verse 3)
You still ask small questions
like they add up to something
I don’t correct you anymore
You can keep thinking this isn’t over
But I’ve already left the part of me that cared
You’ve stopped asking anything that matters
I’m just here until I’m not
You’ll figure it out alone

(Verse 4)
You still sleep on your side of the bed
like being near me means something
We pass each other without speaking
There’s no tension left to break
Every part of me is already leaving
There’s nothing left to avoid
You’re not the reason I’m leaving
You’re the reason I stayed too long

(Chorus)
Stay, if you must
Leave, if you can
I won’t stand in the way
There’s nothing left here for you to wait on

(Verse 5)
I don’t replay the beginning
I’ve stopped needing a reason for the end
I don’t look for the moment we changed
Whatever it was, it’s over
You still act like time is a solution
But nothing you do now counts
This isn’t a pause
You’ll catch up eventually

(Verse 6)
I don’t check the time anymore
There’s nothing left to wait for
You’ve stopped pretending to try
I’ve stopped pretending to care
We don’t talk
We don’t try
I’m not waiting for you to speak
I wouldn’t believe a word of it—even if you did

(Chorus)
Stay, if you must
Leave, if you can
I won’t stand in the way
There’s nothing left here for you to wait on

(Outro)
Say whatever helps you sleep
You always slept just fine
I’m not here to argue
I’m not here at all
