Sleepless Nights
Set For Glory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever looked back, at the times we shared?
Have you ever realized how much you've changed?

If I had one wish, I would wish for you
Too bad you don't feel the same way too

When it's late at night, and the lights go down, do you regret losing me?
When hours seem like days, and the nights are long, don't come running back to me.

I took the fall this time, as you fell short again
I know you say its all my fault, but shouldn't you take the blame

Sleepless nights of pain, reliving each second again
As days passed again, and the nights go by, im still thinking how it all failed

I'm having all theses sleepless nights because of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Set For Glory's song "Sleepless Nights" explore the theme of heartbreak and the pain that comes with losing someone you once loved. The song opens with the question, "Have you ever looked back at the times we shared?" This line suggests that the singer is reflecting on past memories of their relationship and is trying to make sense of how things have changed. The next line, "Have you ever realized how much you've changed?" challenges the listener to reflect on their own personal growth and how it has affected their perspective on love and relationships.

The chorus of the song expresses the singer's desire for their former partner to regret losing them just as much as they are currently suffering. This is particularly evident in the lines, "When it's late at night, and the lights go down, do you regret losing me? When hours seem like days, and the nights are long, don't come running back to me." Here, the singer is adamant that they don't want to be taken back by someone who only wants them in their lives when it is convenient for them.

The second verse shifts focus to the aftermath of the breakup. The singer acknowledges that they may have made mistakes in the relationship, but refuses to shoulder all the blame for its failure. The line, "I know you say it's all my fault, but shouldn't you take the blame?" suggests that the singer is frustrated with their former partner's refusal to acknowledge their own role in the relationship's demise. The chorus is repeated at the end of the song, underscoring the singer's feelings of heartbreak and longing.
