Lyrics
I don't need you to sing me a lullabye tonight
I don't need comforting words or reassurance before sleep.
I just want you to bring me a piece of the moonlight
I desire a sense of tranquility and emotional connection.
Because I'm tired of sleeping in the dark
Expressing weariness of being in the darkness, both literal and metaphorical.
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart
Feeling the emptiness of a bed and heart, indicating loneliness.
I don't need you to pour any liquor in my drink
Rejecting the idea of drowning sorrows in alcohol.
My spirits wouldn't soar
Anticipating a negative emotional response if consuming alcohol.
My heart would just sink into the ground
Emphasizing potential emotional descent and heartache.
Whiskey-soaked and lonely
Describing a state of loneliness accompanied by alcohol.
Without a sound
Highlighting the quiet despair and lack of communication.
Descending deeper down
Continuation of emotional decline and sinking feelings.
Slumping to a slow beat
Depicting a slow, melancholic rhythm of life.
But I know I must be dreaming
Awareness of being in a dream-like state while conscious.
As I lie here awake
Contrasting dreams with the harsh reality of loneliness.
The light I've been looking for went out years ago
Expressing the loss of a guiding light in life.
And my heart can't unbreak
Acknowledging a heartbreak that cannot be undone.
I don't need you to tell me that things will work out right
Rejecting false assurances about the future.
I want to feel your heartbeat when I wake up at midnight
Desiring the emotional reassurance of a partner's heartbeat.
Because I'm tired of sleeping in the dark
Reiterating the weariness of darkness and loneliness.
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart
Reemphasizing the emptiness in bed and heart.
I don't need you to read me another goodnight moon
Rejecting the need for traditional bedtime stories.
I can't even see you in this pitch black room
Expressing the inability to see the partner in the dark.
And I'm so tired of sleeping in the dark
Reiterating exhaustion from sleeping in darkness and loneliness.
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart
Stressing the recurring theme of emptiness in bed and heart.
But I know I must be dreaming
Awareness of dreaming while wide awake.
As I lie here awake
Contrasting the dream-like state with the reality of lost light.
The light I've been looking for went out years ago
Acknowledging the absence of a guiding light for years.
And my heart can't unbreak
Expressing the irreversibility of heartbreak.
I don't need you to make me valerian tea
Rejecting the need for remedies like valerian tea.
I just want you to light me a lamp so I can see
Desiring the simple act of bringing light into the darkness.
Because I'm tired of sleeping in the dark
Reiterating weariness of sleeping in darkness and loneliness.
I'm tired of sleeping in an empty bed with an empty heart
Emphasizing the emptiness in bed and heart as a recurring theme.
