Lyrics

I can’t sleep, I can’t dream
All these demons hauntin’ me
3AM, ceiling talkin’ back to me
Shadows dancin’ like they got receipts
Every thought runnin’ like it don’t get tired
Heart feel heavy, mind on fire
Phone light glow but nobody there
Scrollin’ through ghosts, I don’t even care
Tears dry quick but they come back fast
I swear this night gon’ be my last
I’m tryna breathe but the air too thin
Fightin’ wars that I’m losin’ in
Mirror say “girl you’ll be alright”
But she don’t see me in the night
I can’t sleep, I can’t dream
All these demons hauntin’ me
Wide awake, losin’ faith
Tryna find some light in me
I’m so lost, I’m so gone
Don’t know where my hope went wrong
3AM, cry again
Prayin’ pain don’t last too long
Pillow soaked, mascara stains
Every memory sayin’ your name
I gave love till it drained me dry
Now I’m here just askin’ why
Silence loud, it scream my fears
Every second feel like years
I keep reachin’ for the sun
But the night ain’t ever done
I’m tryna stand but my knees too weak
Say I’m fine but I couldn’t speak
Everybody think I’m strong
But they ain’t heard my breakin’ song
I can’t sleep, I can’t dream
All these demons hauntin’ me
Wide awake, losin’ faith
Tryna find some light in me
I’m so lost, I’m so gone
Don’t know where my hope went wrong
3AM, cry again
Prayin’ pain don’t last too long
If I scream will somebody hear?
If I fall will I disappear?
I’m still holdin’ on by a thread
Tryna outrun what’s in my head
Maybe mornin’ bring me peace
Maybe all this hurt’ll ease
But right now it’s just me and dark
Tryna fix a broken heart
I can’t
I can’t sleep
I can’t sleep
I can’t sleep
I can’t sleep
I can’t sleep
I can’t sleep ahhhhh
I can’t sleep, I can’t dream
All these demons hauntin’ me
Wide awake, losin’ faith
Tryna find some light in me
I’m so lost, I’m so gone
Don’t know where my hope went wrong
3AM, cry again
Prayin’ pain don’t last too long
I can’t sleep
