A/N: this is my second attempt at songfiction. I am going to post the original song first because I have to make some minor changes for it to make sense.
I was just wondering, all these fics keep popping up with Henry Cavil. what if he was reading them??? What if you were him and you were reading fics about yourself?? People having you fall in love and stuff… wouldn't that be weird???

Something to Sleep To
By Michelle Branch
She's his yellow brick road
Leading him on
And let him go as far as she lets him go
Going down to nowhere
She puts on her makeup
The same way she did yesterday
Hoping everything's the same
But everything has changed
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes I'll still be here by your side
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night
Something to sleep to at night
He wakes up to the sound
So scared that she's leaving
He wishes she were still asleep next to him
Hoping she will change
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes I'll still be here by your side
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night
You give me something to sleep to
And all I know is
You give me something to dream to
When I'm all alone
Don't' leave me now, don't leave me now
Don't' leave me now, don't leave me now, don't' leave me now
Don't' leave me now, don't leave me now, don't' leave me now
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes I'll still be here by your side
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night
Something to sleep to
Something to sleep to
Something to sleep to at night
You give me something to sleep to
Something to sleep to at night
Something to Sleep To

Without my Bella for much longer I don't know how I could have continued to exist. She is my everything, my reason to continue this half life, this curse they call living. Without her I was lost. I had lost myself. She had taken it. The human instincts of loving and caring I felt around her were gone. I no longer felt the will to feed or continue on this earth. I felt pain for a while but then it got worse. I became numb. I didn't care for anything. I couldn't go out into the human world because if I saw brown hair, someone trip, smelled flowers I thought of her. My angel, my life, my reason. Without her I'd lost my angle and I fell into the deepest pits of Hell. Without her I had no life. I lost even the cursed half-life I had consisted of before. Without her I had no reason to exist.
She puts on her makeup
The same way she did yesterday
Hoping everything's the same
But everything has changed
I remember waking up. Not feeling that cold form next to me, those stone lips on my neck, that heavenly chuckle. I would wake up. I would shower. I couldn't even use the same conditioner I had used before. I couldn't even have that small remembrance without breaking down. I would go through the day, existing but not living. The first few weeks I would wake up expecting him to be there. Then, everything would come crashing back down and I couldn't stand it anymore. I would curl up into a ball until the pain subsided. I could find no possible reason to live. I continued on without my heart only because of Charlie and Renée.
In my mind
Everything you said was right
Open your eyes I'll still be here by your side
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night
Something to sleep to at night
She began thrashing and crying in her sleep. "Edward! Don't leave me! NO! Come back!"
I placed my hands on her shoulders and quickly shook her awake. "Bella! I'm right here! I'm not leaving!" I look down into her chocolate brown eyes. I can see the love in them and I know she can see the pain in mine. "What was I thinking, leaving you? How could I have been so blind? The bond, the love, we share it tore us apart because of my foolish actions. Because I was so selfish. I didn't want to lose you so I left. Why couldn't I have seen? Why couldn't I see was losing you a different way?"
She said nothing just stared at me. I kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep, my angel." She closed her eyes and I hummed her lullaby into her ear. Very soon she was in dreamland, dreaming of happier things.
She wakes up to the sound
So scared that he's leaving
She wishes he were still 'asleep' next to her
Hoping it will change
I woke up. I didn't know what woke me up but I very quickly realized he was no longer next to me. "Edward!" I whisper called. "Where are you!?"
I heard a rustling in my closet "Shhhh!"
Then, the door opened. It was Charlie. "Bella, Isabella! Are you OK?"
"Yeah, Dad. I'm fine. Just had a weird dream, is all."
"Goodnight, Bells."
"Night, Dad"
As soon as the door closed, my Greek god had me in his arms again. I fell asleep contented.
In my mind
Everything I did wasn't right
Open your eyes I'll still be here by your side
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night
You give me something to sleep to
And all I know is
You give me something to dream to
When I'm all alone
Don't' leave me now, don't leave me now
Don't' leave me now, don't leave me now, don't' leave me now
Don't' leave me now, don't leave me now, don't' leave me now
To dream of him leaving me is the worst. To relive it, even in sleep, is the worst agony. I often cry out in my sleep, when I have these dreams. I then wake up in his arms. He is there, I know it but in my heart I cannot truly believe it. I think he won't leave me again, but how can I be sure? How do I know? All I know is that I love him and will not continue to live, as I did before, if he leaves me again.
In my mind
Everything we did was right
Open your eyes I'll still be here by your side
How could I ever have been so blind?
You give me something to sleep to at night
Something to sleep to
Something to sleep to
Something to sleep to at night
You give me something to sleep to
Something to sleep to at night
He is my dream. She is my life.
