Wide Awake
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Clock keeps flashing 3AM
Same old thoughts again and again
Ceiling shadows move like ghosts
The memories I hate the most
TV glow against the wall
Trying not to feel at all
Every sound cuts through the night
But my mind just wants to fight
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m tired of pretending
That I’m fine when I’m breaking
Every heartbeat feels so loud
When the silence comes around
[Chorus]
I can’t sleep tonight
These demons keep me wide awake
Every dream I try to chase
Turns into another mistake
And I’m staring at the moonlight
Like it’s got the words to say
But the darkness in my head
Just won’t fade away
No, I can’t sleep tonight
[Verse 2]
Pacing circles on the floor
Running from myself once more
All the things I never said
Keep replaying in my head
Phone lights up then fades to black
Wish I knew how to relax
But the night pulls me beneath the dark
And I drown inside my thoughts and heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep searching for a reason
Why my heart feels cold and freezing
Everybody’s fast asleep
While I’m fighting just to dream
[Chorus]
I can’t sleep tonight
These demons keep me wide awake
Every dream I try to chase
Turns into another mistake
And I’m staring at the moonlight
Like it’s got the words to say
But the darkness in my head
Just won’t fade away
No, I can’t sleep tonight
[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow
The sun will break through
Maybe the morning
Will make me feel new
But right now the silence
Is tearing me apart
And every second feels heavy on my heart.
[Final Chorus]
I can’t sleep tonight
But maybe I’ll survive the pain
Maybe all these stormy skies
Will finally bring the rain
And I’ll keep holding onto hope
Even when it feels too far away
Cause somewhere past the darkness
There’s another day
So I’ll make it through tonightWide awake…
Waiting for the light…
Just trying to survive tonight…
