Sleepless Nights
My heart has been breaking
For quite some time
My faith has been shaken
Peace impossible to find.
Sleepless nights are all I know
Can't get it out of my head
At night it gets too lonely
Emptiness on your side of the bed.
Should've always been an us
I still don't know where we went wrong
Hearts invaded by such a powerful mistrust
The relationship wasn't as strong.
They say time heals all wounds
But not when someone was your sun and your moon
Broken promises and unfulfilled dreams
Love's not as blissful as it seems.
I wrote this on one of those sleepless nights
Drowning in my own sorrows
No one to stroke my hair and hold me tight
Silently praying you’ll return tomorrow.
Deep in thought I almost sworn I heard your sweet voice whisper my name
But when I look around,
The silence confirms it was only my mind playing tricks on me
Once again, you are nowhere to be found. .
