sleepless at night

Intro
Shadowed corners fill the room
Empty silence floods the gloom
Verse
Wide awake, stare at the ceiling,
The city breathing slow and low,
Your scent lingers on the pillow,
Memory’s echo—so hard to let go.
Digits on the clock keep changing,
But time’s the only one who moves.
Rain streaks softly on my window,
Stillness wraps around the truth.
Pre-Chorus
Wish I could outrun the ache,
Close my eyes and drift away.
Chorus
Sleepless at midnight, counting what’s gone,
Hoping you’ll walk through that door,
I chase every shadow, holding your ghost,
Caught in the quiet, wanting you close.
Sleepless at midnight—one word repeats your name.
Verse
Walls remember laughter fading,
Frames turned facedown on the shelves.
Cold coffee on the bedside table,
Missing what I’ll never tell.
Your words hang heavy in the silence,
Cut deeper every time I breathe.
All the promises unravel,
I’m left stranded in between.
Pre-Chorus
Last light flickers as I wait,
Haunted by the love we made.
Chorus
Sleepless at midnight, counting what’s gone,
Hoping you’ll walk through that door,
I chase every shadow, holding your ghost,
Caught in the quiet, wanting you close.
Sleepless at midnight—one word repeats your name.
Bridge
Windows wide open to longing,
Moonlight pours over regret.
If healing comes with the sunrise,
Why hasn’t it happened yet?
Still, I reach for something faded,
Still ache for what could’ve been.
Instrumental
(Soulful electric piano and slow, muted drums)
Chorus
Sleepless at midnight, counting what’s gone,
Hoping you’ll walk through that door,
I chase every shadow, holding your ghost,
Caught in the quiet, wanting you close.
Sleepless at midnight—one word repeats your name.
Outro
Soft hush as night keeps turning,
Dim light on memories and pain.
One heartbeat, still yearning,
Chasing dreams I can’t reclaim.
