You're Why I Don't Sleep At Night
Sleepless Nights: Unraveling the Heartache in Joker's Hand's Melody
Lyrics
She said to me
Expressing a conversation starting with "She said to me"
Let's keep this all a memory
Proposing to keep the shared experiences as memories
Not dead to me
Emphasizing that the person is not forgotten
But know that we will never be
Acknowledging that a romantic relationship is no longer possible
Woah, oh, you're on your own
Expressing solitude and independence
You left me here to toil with my self control
Feeling abandoned and struggling with self-control
Oh no, I see you go
Observing the person leaving
It's clear you're moving on, I already know
Realizing that the person is moving on
Down the street
Describing the location where the person is seen
There I see
Noticing the person with someone else
You've got him wrapped around you making memories
Seeing the person creating new memories with someone else
A fantasy
Referring to the new relationship as a fantasy
Is all he'll be
Indicating that the new person is unknown
You're fucking with a person you have yet to meet
Expressing frustration with the person's choices
You say that he knows how to please you
Acknowledging the new person's ability to please
I'm praying he plans to deceive you
Expressing concern about potential deception by the new person
Had a feeling I wasn't
Reflecting on a previous feeling of not being wanted
What you wanted and now I've found out
Discovering the truth about not being desired
Said I'm good but it doesn't
Stating that being okay doesn't mean wanting to be ignored
Mean I wanna be left and drowned out
Expressing a desire not to be neglected and overlooked
A sudden hesitation
Describing a sudden hesitation or doubt
Felt like a forced mid-season rewrite
Comparing the hesitation to a forced mid-season rewrite
Don't get no explanation
Not receiving an explanation for the hesitation
Now you're why I don't sleep at night
Attributing sleepless nights to the person
Ey
Interjection expressing emotion
How I'd act a fool
Describing actions taken foolishly for the person
Just to hear from you
Expressing the desire to hear from the person
Now I never hear a word
Not receiving any communication
Not a single fucking thing
Emphasizing the lack of information
Unless I take the first step
Highlighting the need for initiative to hear from the person
It would really be a dream
Expressing a wish for a dream-like scenario
To hear you calling on my line
Desiring a call from the person
Wish that you would put aside the time to be a person that I'd cherish in my life
Wishing for the person to be cherished in life
You say that he knows how to please you
Repeating acknowledgment of the new person's ability to please
I'm betting in time that he'll leave you
Speculating on the new person's potential to leave
Had a feeling I wasn't
Recalling the earlier feeling of not being wanted
What you wanted and now I've found out
Discovering the truth about not being desired
Said I'm good but it doesn't
Stating that being okay doesn't mean wanting to be ignored
Mean I wanna be left and drowned out
Expressing a desire not to be neglected and overlooked
A sudden hesitation
Describing a sudden hesitation or doubt
Felt like a forced, mid-season rewrite
Comparing the hesitation to a forced mid-season rewrite
Don't get no explanation
Not receiving an explanation for the hesitation
Now you're why I don't sleep at night
Attributing sleepless nights to the person
And now you're why I don't sleep at night
Reiterating that the person is the reason for sleepless nights
Now you're why I don't sleep at night
Reiterating that the person is
