[Verse 1]
The city sleeps outside my room
But my mind won't follow suit
Every word I should've said
Comes alive inside my head
The clock keeps counting every second
Like a wound I never mention
Moonlight paints the ceiling white
And I'm still awake tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody says let go
Like it's something that I chose
But these thoughts keep pulling me below
Into places I don't show
[Chorus]
I'm awake at night
Watching shadows crawl across the walls
Trying not to think at all
But the silence makes them louder
Awake at night
While the world keeps moving on
Holding onto what's long gone
Long after it's over
[Post-Chorus 1]
Ohhh…
Wide awake…
Ahhh…
Another day…
Spent staring at the dark again…
Waiting for the morning to pretend…
[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker through the blinds
Like old ghosts passing through my mind
Every "what if" comes alive
At two a.m. when I can't hide
The room feels smaller than before
Memories scattered on the floor
I close my eyes, I try to rest
But my heart won't leave my chest
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe someday I'll find peace (find peace…)
Maybe someday I'll find sleep (find sleep…)
Until then the night remains
A place where nothing really changes (changes…)
[Chorus 2]
I'm awake at night (awake…)
Watching shadows crawl across the walls (across the walls…)
Trying not to think at all
But the silence makes them louder
Awake at night (awake…)
While the world keeps moving on (moving on…)
Holding onto what's long gone
Long after it's over
[Post-Chorus 2]
Ohhh…
Still awake…
Ahhh…
Same mistakes…
Every thought comes back again…
Like a road that never ends…
[Bridge – stripped, vulnerable]
Maybe it's not you I miss
Maybe it's the years I lost
Maybe it's the weight of knowing
Some things can't be undone
Maybe that's why every night
Feels heavier than the last
Like I'm living with a ghost
That never became the past
[Final Chorus – powerful, heartbreaking]
I'm awake at night (I'm awake!)
Watching shadows swallow all the light (all the light!)
Trying hard to keep it in
But some wounds never close
Awake at night (awake!)
While the stars look down unchanged (unchanged!)
Everything and nothing changed
And I don't know how to let it go
[Post-Chorus 3 – emotional collapse]
Ahhh…
Ohhh…
Wide awake…
Still the same…
Ahhh…
Another night without a change…
Ohhh…
Another night... the same...
[Outro Distant piano, fading synths]
Awake at night…
Waiting for sleep…
Dayzzz
