Lyrics
Sleep don’t come easy
When you’re heavy on my mind
Thoughts keep racing circles
As the night runs out of time
Tomorrow’s getting closer
But these eyes won’t shut again
I’m running low on minutes
But not memories of us then
I start drifting off slowly
Think maybe this is the end
Then you walk through my mind
And I’m wide awake again
[Pre-Chorus]
Every shadow in this room
Is a picturette of you
[Chorus]
And the night rolls on
Till the break of dawn
While the moon fades into gray
I’m running on fumes
In this lonely room
Watching darkness slip away
Now the alarm cuts through
Like a cold hard truth
Another sleepless night is dead
But no matter how I try
Girl I can’t deny
You’re still living in my head…
[Verse 2]
Well, it’s working time again
But your memories still come
All the nights we laughed together
All the wild and reckless fun
Every road we used to drive
Every song that we sang
Still hanging in the corners
weighing in my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna throw it all away
Like it never meant a thing
They’re stacked up in my mind
Where old scars still sting
[Chorus]
And the night rolls on
Till the break of dawn
While the moon fades into gray
I’m running on fumes
In this lonely room
Watching darkness slip away
Now the alarm cuts through
Like a cold hard truth
Another sleepless night is dead
But no matter how I try
Girl I can’t deny
You’re still living in my head…
[Bridge]
Now the hurt ain’t quite as heavy
The weeks have eased the pain
I can finally sleep at night
Peaceful, like a summer rain
Some fires burn too fiercely
Some hearts can’t make amends
Sometimes love ain’t built forever
Sometimes you’re better off friends
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, the night moved on
And the pain is gone
Those clouds are rolling out
I finally found some peace
In letting go
I’m glad it all worked out
Now the sunrise shines
On a different life
And the past doesn’t cut so deep
Still every now and then
Your voice slips in
Soft whisper in my sleep
[Outro]
Sleep comes so much better
Then it did back then
But if you’re smart
You won’t risk your heart
When you’re better off as friends…
