Dark circles frame blue eyes that once were filled with joy and light.
Red, bloodshot veins release the tears I’m crying through the night.
I searched for you my whole life long:
Now I’m left alone. Oh!
No one else can ease the ache of love that’s throbbing in my heart.
Can someone please erase the pain that’s tearing me apart?
Suns and moons can rise and set:
But I can’t forget.
I can’t sleep at night since you went away.
I toss and I turn; I weep and I burn—
I pray to find a way to make you willing to return.
Oh! I can’t sleep.
I can’t sleep at night since you went away.
I’m out of control; I’ve let myself go—
‘Cause no one else can take the place left empty in my soul!
Oh! I can’t sleep.
There might come a day when someone new will try to win my heart.
But come what may, it takes my all just not to fall apart.
Love and hope may fade and bloom:
Time will heal my wound.
I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep.
I can’t sleep.
