it's 2am and i'm awake
trying to understand my biggest mistakes
it's not what i wanted
hope was just my biggest reason
i can hear it all
even though my town sleeps
i hear dreams and downfalls
and babies who weep
the darkness of the night
mind boggling
though it covers me like a dove
even when i am sleepless
i'm sleepless

i turn to my side
sleep weighs heavy
for the darkness
i am ready
i need arms to hold me tight
because this night
i cannot fight

i hear it all
the sad thoughts too
they tell me be strong
but i keep remembering
that i was wrong
i give up on sleep
it's 4am and i'm awake
maybe it's a sign
it's time
to take a break
even when i am sleepless
i'm sleepless
