I'm wide awake collecting all the letters that you wrote me
(As I look at the pages I see the memories buried in the dark)
I'll stay awake still looking back trying' to understand how
(The spaces between us, the glimpse of your eyes)
(Have faded so long ago)
The rain it falls little harder now, the wind it blows so cold
The rain it falls little harder now, the wind it blows so cold
My cigarette is burning all my worst regrets
I won't be the man that you want me to be
(And I can't be the man that you see in me)
Darling, darling don't you cry
Fall around my arms and let your eyes
Blindly gaze up to the sky
Let the moonlight find its way
And brighten up this lonely darkest sky
Don't wonder why the stars aren't out tonight
I kept them in my hands to sing you to sleep
And as you dream, they'll be by your side
To cast away the fears that you have buried inside
Now all alone I see these flowers die with everything and every pain
(Too scared to try to make amends and just pretend)
I know I can't be the best, but I won't be the worst
Please don't let your silence take away our time
Darling, darling don't you cry
Let the moonlight find its way
And brighten up this lonely darkest sky
So don't you wonder why the stars aren't out tonight, tonight
Though it's cold outside, just hold on tight and fall
(Everything will be alright)
♪
I'm wide awake, but I'm falling down
I realize, I can't let you go
I can't let you go
No No
No whoooa
No whoooa
As you dream I'll stay I got you now
(As you dream, the stars are burning out)
As you dream, your lips are closer now
(As you dream the skies are brighter now)
As you dream I'll stay I got you now
(As you dream, the stars are burning out)
As you dream, your lips are closer now
(As you dream of skies, I bid goodnight)
