Insomnia

I

Just can′t seem to fall asleep

Counting sheep has become a pastime

I'm

Used to sleeping in the night

But the dark has become so bright

Right

We always said they were the right words

And that there was nothing to compromise

But my

Mourning eyes had seen

The iceberg way before the ship even capsized

With every memory

I keep on asking when

If you′ll come back to me again

Again

'Cause you're the reason that I can′t sleep

As I′m falling in reverse before you

Reason that I can't sleep

When I close my eyes

I′m blinded by you

(Why)

Can't I just

(Stop)

Forget me

(Now)

When you′re with someone better?

I'll stay here with

What we′ve started

When dreams become

Regrets of the broken-hearted

You

Were the reason that the sun rose

Turning all the stars in the sky blue

You

Were the reason that my heart thought

True love was some thing only I knew

So why

Are the inside of my eyelids

Stained with every picture of me and you?

And I

Will continue to stay here not sleeping

'Cause my heart told me not to

And just like the setting moon

You're gone before the day

And you will come back soon

But not to stay

'Cause you're the reason that I can′t sleep

As I′m falling in reverse before you

Reason that I can't sleep

When I close my eyes

I′m blinded by you

(Why)

Can't I just

(Stop)

Forget me

(Now)

When you′re with someone better?

I'll stay here with

What we′ve started

When dreams become

Regrets of the broken-hearted

(I′ll be right here if you just wake up...)

(Go to sleep, where the dreams don′t seem to taunt you...)

And when I can't fall asleep

Insomnia′s what I find

When I'm tired of counting sheep

I′m holding on to fantasies

That won't let you out of my mind

(Reasons that I can′t sleep

As I'm falling in reverse before you

Reasons that I can't sleep)

When I close my eyes

I′m blinded by you

(Why)

Can′t I just

(Stop)

Forget me

(Now)

When you're with someone better

As we part with lives uncharted

Here′s to you, my dear departed

Oh, I'll stay right here with what we′ve started

When dreams become

Regrets of the broken-hearted
