Feels Like Another Sleepless Night

Verse 1: I should've been careful what I wished for I know there's bound to be another open door Of many opportunities That could replace my nightmarish memories Not everything is black and white, you see? I wake up with no one by my side...can't you see that I'm not riding the waves of ecstasy? I was the one that you adore You were the one that I adore Feels like my life is wasting away Feels like another miserable day Without you To carry me through the night Without you Giving me the wings of flight Oh oh ooh oooooh Pre-chorus: I should've be careful what I wished for What I wished for My wish was to stay with you for the rest of my life I ran out of luck and I ran for my life...all my life... I ran for my precious life... Away from the insidious strife My heart is constantly racing...it keeps on hesitating... I'm scared to death because you don't love me enough My mind's happy state is fading...fading... I'm not prepared for another day to pretend to act tough Chorus: You walked away and slammed the door You walked away and said no more...no more... My heart pounds with pitiful pain and more My heart is bleeding out because it's sore... Ever since you left me in the dust, I'm the penny that's reduced to rust You took away sweet sleep from my eyes... Feels like another sleepless night filled with truths and lies... Verse 2: Feeling myself fall apart all because of the heartless things you've said to me Feeling myself scorch into flames all because you laughed at me as if I'm the one gone crazy Am I crazy for being the way I am? Am I crazy for being a gullible lamb? I should've be careful what I wished for What I wished for My wish was to stay with you for the rest of my life I ran out of luck and I ran for my life...all my life... I ran for my precious life... Away from the insidious strife Oh oh ohh ooooh I'm scared to death I'm scared out of my wits...I'm out of breath... I'm not prepared for another day to pretend to act tough I guess my way of expressing love wasn't enough Oh ohh ohh oooooh (Pre-chorus Chorus) Verse 3: I was the one that you adore You were the one that I adore But that changed in a blank of an eye All along, I was living a cruel, unforgiving lie I won't let myself down by letting you win this round...I will keep fighting until I feel like I'm done I shall not wear a frown; instead, I should smile away the grief You fled away in deep dismay, knowing you and I won't work out in the long run I shall not lose hope right now, for God will give me plenty of relief Oh so much relief... Possibly, he can drown away the negativity He can feed me desirable positivity instantly (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) Bridge: I'm wide awake and I don't know why... Dying to understand the reason why Feels like another sleepless night I'm praying for the sake of healing my heartache... Trying to will the pain away My life is close at stake Without anyone to embrace... Come on, someone hit the brake I'm breaking into pieces, knowing that I'm left without a trace I'm left without a trace Reflect my tiresome, grief-stricken face Wishing for His grace and love to shower me down just in case Now, I'm being careful with what I wish for My last wish is to find that special someone in store I will never regret, telling You what I wish for Unfortunately, it feels like another sleepless night I will probably regret, losing sleep over the one I did adore Luckily, my beloved Father will lead me with His vibrant light...now, everything's black and white
