Big Sleep Lyrics
[Intro: The Weeknd]
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la-la
[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
You know I love it when you’re angry
I’m looking at you like
No, no, no, no, no
As I make you go
I don’t want you to go away
I found you, I found you
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Well, you used up your borrowed life
And you wasted your borrowed time
Big sleep, big sleep
Well, you barely put up a fight
Ready for the forever night
Big sleep, big sleep, oh
[Bridge: The Weeknd]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2: Giorgio Moroder]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Angels watch me through the night
Wake me up with light
[Outro: The Weeknd]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Soul resurrecting
As He comes to life, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
