Oh, oh, oh, oh (Orejebu)
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah

Nights like this
Make me wish I never fell in love with you
Time flies by
I text get no reply, get no reply from you (no, no)
You just keep playin' games
Things ain't the same for me and you
Tell me why?
You were my all but I'm no longer scared
Scared of losin' you (hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, oh no)

Colors of the sky, used to be blue, but now they changin' you
Quick to say I'm wrong, but you're so slow to see it from my view
Love shine like the sun, then disappear just like the mornin' dew
You want loyalty, but you can't have your cake and eat it too, you know (no, no)

Sleepless nights when you're not around
Who do you fuck when I'm not in town?
My mind is racin', I need to slow down, woah, no (oh)
Sleepless nights when you're not around
Who do you fuck when I'm not in town?
My mind is racin', I need to slow down

Downtown, out all night

Too many things going through my mind
Got me fucked up, you no dey try
Calling your phone, why you no dey pick up, yeah?
As soon as she come, dey apologize
Don't want to see you with another guy
You no dey fuck with me, look me in the eyes
Mi ah no dey fu', I hope you realize (oh, oh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trey Songz's song "Sleepless Nights" depict the emotional struggle and heartbreak experienced after a failed relationship. The singer reminisces about the past and expresses his deep longing for the way things used to be. He reflects on the changes that have occurred, with colors losing their vibrancy and love disappearing like morning dew.


The song explores the theme of distrust and betrayal. The singer questions who his partner is involved with when he is not around, causing his mind to race and preventing him from finding peace. He confronts his partner about her actions and the lack of communication, feeling hurt and confused by her games.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration and resignation. The singer realizes that he cannot hold on to someone who does not reciprocate his loyalty. Despite the pain of losing her, he no longer fears the possibility of losing her because he has come to terms with the fact that their relationship is no longer what it once was.


In summary, "Sleepless Nights" is a heartfelt and introspective portrayal of a broken relationship, focusing on themes of betrayal, longing, and acceptance.
