Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cry for you
And wonder who
Is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights
Will break my heart in two
Somehow through the days
I hide the tears
That wait within
Oh, but then through sleepless nights
I cry again
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
I need you
I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh, let it be
Please let it be
Oh, my love, please end
These sleepless nights for me
Why did you go?
Why did you go?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
I need you
I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh, let it be
Please let it be
Oh, my love, please end
These sleepless nights for me
Oh my love, please end these sleepless nights for me
Oh my love, please end these sleepless nights for me

Through the sleepless nights
During the restless nights where I can't sleep
I cry for you
I shed tears thinking of you
And wonder who is kissing you
I wonder who you are with romantically
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two
These sleepless nights are causing me unbearable sadness
Somehow through the days, I don't give in
During the day I am able to suppress my feelings
I hide the tears that wait within
I try to put on a brave face and hold back my emotions
Oh, but then through sleepless nights, I cry again
But come nighttime, the tears flow freely once more
Why did you go? Don't you know? I need you
I am pleading for you to come back, as I still require your love
I keep hoping you'll come back to me, Oh, let it be, please let it be
I continue to pray for your return, begging for it to occur
Oh my love, please end these sleepless nights for me
My love, I am asking you to alleviate the pain and help me sleep at night
