Can't Sleep
Letra:
[English]
4:30 a.m., I'm awake again
Singing to the dark through open eyes
While dreaming I see only you and me
Stuck between desire and compromise
If I said I want you back I'd be a liar
There's nothing left of us to long for anymore
But inside the ashes burns an endless fire
And every night I can't help reaching out for more
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
You're leaving me scars scattered in my heart
A road map of all the places you have been
And I can't escape, can't wash this away
My love has burned your mark so deep within
If I said I want you back I'd be a liar
There's nothing left of us to long for anymore
But inside the ashes burns an endless fire
And every night I can't help reaching out for more
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
(Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep)
(Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep)
(Sleep, sleep, sleep)
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
