Sleepless Nights
I sleep, though it’s only temporary
Simple love exists there within my eyes
However it’s broken, quite unhealthy
I cannot sleep, I awake with disguise
Simple love exists there within my eyes
She holds all my thoughts firm outside and in
I cannot sleep, I awake with disguise
As though she holds me, she doesn’t begin
She holds all my thoughts firm outside and in
Confused about our love I wake again
As though she holds me, she doesn’t begin
Never can she grasp my heart, it’s a sin
Confused about our love I wake again
She has messed with my head from all over
Never can she grasp my heart, it’s a sin
What she has done to me, she’s no lover
She had messed with my head from all over
Such to keep me up all hours of the night
What she has done to me, she’s no lover
I can’t find sleep, it’s truly out of sight
Such to keep me up all hours of the night
I don’t know how you could do this to me
I can’t find sleep, it’s truly out of sight
I start off sleeping, a light sleep I see
I don’t know how you could do this to me
However it’s broken, quite unhealthy
I start off sleeping, a light sleep I see
I sleep, though it’s only temporary
