Sleepless
Sleepless Nights: A Tale of Regret and Betrayal
Lyrics
Way past 3 AM I'm thinking
Reflecting on thoughts past 3 AM
Ambien and whiskey mixing
Contemplating the mix of Ambien and whiskey for coping
Might just help me make it through the night
Considering substances to endure the night
This bed just keeps getting colder
Feeling the bed getting colder, emotional distance
Space between us getting farther
Noticing increasing emotional distance between partners
I let you think that it's all alright
Allowing partner to believe everything's fine
Baby, when it all goes down
Speculating about future hardships
Maybe when the truth comes out
Anticipating revealing the truth
When the nights are long and all you've got are secrets
Lonely nights filled only with hidden truths
Maybe when you lie awake
Ruminating while unable to sleep
Regretting all of your mistakes
Feeling remorse for past errors
Remembering that you cut me the deepest
Remembering partner's deep emotional hurt
And you didn't ever try to stop the bleeding
Partner's lack of effort to mend the pain
Now you're the one that's sleepless
Partner now experiencing sleeplessness
Can't be mad at me for leaving
Not blaming oneself for leaving due to partner's infidelity
When you were the one that's cheating
Pointing out partner's infidelity
Acting like you thought I didn't know
Partner's pretense of ignorance about being caught
Blame me for it, call me heartless
Being accused and labeled as heartless
Should have left you when it started
Realizing the necessity to leave at the start of issues
Now you'll have to wake up all alone
Partner now facing loneliness upon awakening
Baby, when it all goes down
Envisaging potential consequences
Maybe when the truth comes out
Expecting truth to come to light
When the nights are long and all you've got are secrets
Nights filled with hidden truths and loneliness
Maybe when you lie awake
Rumination during sleepless nights
Regretting all of your mistakes
Feeling remorseful for past mistakes
Remembering that you cut me the deepest
Recollection of intense emotional pain caused by partner
And you didn't ever try to stop the bleeding
Partner's lack of effort to stop emotional pain
Now you're the one that's sleepless
Partner now experiencing sleeplessness
Baby, when it all goes down
Envisioning potential consequences
Maybe when the truth comes out
Expecting truth to come to light
When the nights are long and all you've got are secrets
Nights filled with hidden truths and loneliness
Maybe when you lie awake
Rumination during sleepless nights
Regretting all of your mistakes
Feeling remorseful for past mistakes
Remembering that you cut me the deepest
Recollection of intense emotional pain caused by partner
And you didn't ever try to stop the bleeding
Partner's lack of effort to stop emotional pain
Now you're the one that's sleepless
Partner now experiencing sleeplessness
Now you're the one that's sleepless
Reiteration of partner's current state of sleeplessness
