Bed of Lies - Matchbox Twenty

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
I am
Dont think that I can take another empty moment
Dont think that I can fake another hollow smile
Its not enough just to be sorry
Dont think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And theyre only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that weve tendered away
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
I am
Dont wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Dont wanna be somewhere where I just dont belong
Where its not enough just be sorry
Dont you know I feel the darkness closing in
Tried to be more than me
And I gave till it all went away
And weve only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters weve made
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learningI am
I am all that Ill ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but dont go weak on me now
I know that its weak
But God help me I need this
I will not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And therell be no rest for these tired eyes
Im marking it down to learning
Im marking it down to learning
cause I am

Play-A-Day (Day??)

Lights up on a small bedroom with a double size bed in the middle. The lights need to remain dimmed with just enough light as to be able to make out the outline of a man and woman having sex on the bed. While they are in the middle of this action a man enters from offstage. He walks towards the bed but hears a noise and then stops. He looks at the bed and notices the movement under the sheets. He then hears a womans voice from the bed. He stands there for a little while longer in shock. He then slowly turns and exits. Lights fade. Lights up on the same setting only this time the man who walked in is in the bed with the woman from before. He is lying on his back in the bed with his head propped up looking about. She has he head on his chest and arm around him.

Man
Can I ask you something and you be totally honest with me?

Woman
Of course you can.

Man
Ok please don't take this the wrong way but, have you ever cheated on me and if so would you have told me?

Woman
Of course i'd tell you and no I havn't [All looking at him curiously]

Man
[Without looking at her] Alright.

Woman
Come on let's get some sleep.

The lights go off and they lay down to go to bed then the man can be seen getting out of bed and turning a small light on.

Woman
Where you going?

Man
Oh just need to get something to drink.

Woman
Alright i'll be here waiting when you get back

The woman then returns to sleeping and the man then stares at her for a little while then exits offstage and all lights go out.
