Sleepless Nights
Nora Jones/Norah Jones Lyrics

Through the sleepless nights
Even though I'm sleepless at night, I am still thinking of you.

I cry for you
I'm emotional and hurt because of your absence.

And wonder who
I'm curious about who you're with while I'm alone.

Is kissing you
I am feeling jealous about the person who is physically close to you.

Oh, these sleepless nights
The nights are endless and painful for me.

Will break my heart in two
My heart is fragile and the sleepless nights are making it worse.

Somehow through the days
During the day, I try to appear strong and hide my emotions.

I don't give in
I refuse to let my sadness take control of me.

I hide the tears
I don't want to show my vulnerability and pretend everything is okay.

That wait within
I am aware of the sadness inside of me that I'm trying to suppress.

Oh, but then through sleepless nights
When night falls, my emotions overflow and I can't control myself anymore.

I cry again
I can't help but cry and let my emotions out.

Why did you go?
I am questioning why you left me and broke my heart.

Don't you know?
Don't you understand how much I need you?

I need you
I'm acknowledging that I can't live without you and your love.

I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Despite everything, I still have hope for our relationship.

Oh, let it be
Please let my hope come true and bring you back to me.

Please let it be
I am desperately hoping for a positive outcome to my situation.

Oh, my love, please end
Only your return can end my sleepless nights and pain.

These sleepless nights for me
I just want to feel better and put an end to my endless suffering.
