2am
Brooke Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd be this lonely
Nobody told me
About 2 am
My mama warned me
About the brokenness
Although I get it just forget it
My daddy told me
About the tears I'd cry
Although I never did it expect
To be trading in a river for eyes
But No one prepares you for 2am
No
No one prepares you for 2am
When you're all alone
Just staring at the phone
Wishing someone would call
Though you don't wanna y'all at all
When you lean on the pain your in
Like it's your dearest friend
Oh how wish somebody warned me
About 2 am
Never again
Never again
No
I heard it's been said
If you love something
Maybe you should let it go
And if it comes back, that's how you know
But what if your love
Never does return
Be mature say nothing more?
Or just say it all
And watch bridges burn?
I wish someone told me about 2am
No
No one prepares you for 2am
When you're all alone
Just staring at the phone
Wishing someone would call
Though you don't wanna y'all at all
When you lean on the pain your in
Like it's your dearest friend
Oh how wish somebody warned me
About 2 am
Never again
Never again
No
Nobody told me
I'd be this lonely
Nobody told me
About 2 am
(Never again, never again)
No
Nobody told me about 2 am
(Never again, never again)

Nobody told me
I didn't anticipate this feeling of loneliness
I'd be this lonely
I didn't expect to be alone like this
Nobody told me
I didn't know that
About 2 am
That 2 am would be such a hard time
My mama warned me
My mother gave me advice
About the brokenness
About the damage and sadness
Although I get it just forget it
Even though I understand, I want to ignore it
No words could do it justice
It's too difficult to describe
My daddy told me
My father advised me
About the tears I'd cry
About the sadness I'd feel
Although I never did expect
Even though I didn't think it could happen
To be trading in a river for eyes
To be crying so much
But No one prepares you for 2am
Nobody teaches you how hard 2 am can be
No
It's not true
No one prepares you for 2am
Nobody teaches you how hard 2 am can be
When you're all alone
When there is nobody else around
Just staring at the phone
Looking at the phone, hoping it will ring
Wishing someone would call
Wanting somebody to contact you
Though you don't wanna y'all at all
But you don't want to talk to anyone
When you lean on the pain your in
When you use your pain as support
Like it's your dearest friend
Like it's the only thing you have left
Oh how wish somebody warned me
I really wish I had known
Never again
I don't want to feel like this anymore
Never again
I don't want to feel like this anymore
No
It's not true
I heard it's been said
I've heard people say
If you love something
If you care about someone or something
Maybe you should let it go
Perhaps you should give it up
And if it comes back, that's how you know
If it returns, then it's meant to be
But what if your love
But what happens if you care about something
Never does return
And it never comes back
Be mature say nothing more?
Should you just act grown up and not say anything else?
Or just say it all
Or should you speak your feelings?
And watch bridges burn?
Even though it may cause problems?
I wish someone told me about 2am
I really wish somebody had warned me
No
It's not true
No one prepares you for 2am
Nobody teaches you how hard 2 am can be
(Never again, never again)
(I don't want to feel like this anymore)
Nobody told me
I didn't know that
I'd be this lonely
I didn't anticipate this feeling of loneliness
Nobody told me
I didn't know that
About 2 am
That 2 am would be such a hard time
(Never again, never again)
(I don't want to feel like this anymore)
No
It's not true
Nobody told me about 2 am
I didn't know how hard 2 am could be
(Never again, never again)
(I don't want to feel like this anymore)
