Wide Awake

Verse 1
10PM, I tell myself I’m fine
But I’m staring at the screen, reading every sign
11PM, my chest feels tight
Still no reply, just another night

Midnight hits, I toss in my bed
Your silence is screaming inside my head
1AM, still scrolling through
Why do I let this revolve around you?

Pre-Chorus
I tell myself, “don’t let it sting”
But my brain replays every little thing
It’s stupid, it’s small, but I can’t let go
Why do your messages control me so?

Chorus
I can’t sleep, I can’t switch off
Your silence screams, it pisses me off
I hate that I care, I hate that it’s true
That my restless nights revolve around you
I toss, I turn, my thoughts collide
Why do I let you live inside
Every corner of my brain tonight?

Verse 2
2AM, my patience is thin
Still no message, the cycle begins
3AM, my mind’s a mess
Running in circles, I can’t find rest

4AM, and I’m still awake
Burning for a message you’ll never make
I hate this hold, I hate this need
Your silence is the wound that makes me bleed

Pre-Chorus
I know I’m stronger, I know I’m tough
But your silence makes me feel not enough
It’s poison, it’s noise, and I can’t break through
Why do my nights still belong to you?

Chorus
I can’t sleep, I can’t switch off
Your silence screams, it pisses me off
I hate that I care, I hate that it’s true
That my restless nights revolve around you
I toss, I turn, my thoughts collide
Why do I let you live inside
Every corner of my brain tonight?

Bridge
I wanna smash my phone, throw it away
But I still check it ten times a day
I hate this pull, I hate this need
It feels like you’re the air I breathe

Chorus
I can’t sleep, I can’t switch off
Your silence screams, it pisses me off
I hate that I care, I hate that it’s true
That my restless nights revolve around you
I toss, I turn, my thoughts collide
Why do I let you live inside
Every corner of my brain tonight?

Outro
10PM starts, the cycle runs
By 4AM, I’m still undone
I hate the way you get to me
But I’m trapped inside this endless bleed
