Insomnia Blues

Mmm,

they're rottin' my brain,

love These hoes are the same I trusted your words,

but you played with my name Now I'm staring at the ceiling,

wide awake in the rain

Mmm, they're rottin' my brain,

love These hoes are the same I gave you my heart,

you gave me the pain Now I'm calling your phone,

but you don't say my name I tell everybody that I'm doing

okay But the truth comes alive when the lights fade away You

left me with memories I can't explain Now I'm dead inside,

dancing with the rain

Black hoodie, cold room,

shadows on the wall

I still hear your footsteps in the hallway when they fall We

were talking 'bout forever,

now forever's gone

I keep reading old messages at three in the morning You said

I was your home,

then you left without a warning Now I wake up feeling empty

every morning All my friends say let it go,

but they don't know the story You were more than just a

lover, you were part of me I gave you all my secrets,

you turned them into weapons Every promise that you made is another

broken sentence

I don't wanna hate you,

I just hate what you became How you looked me in the

eyes while you walked away

I got people all around me,

still I'm feeling alone A thousand names inside my phone,

nobody feels like home Trying to find the boy I was before

I knew your name Tell me,

do you ever think about me?

When the night gets quiet,

do you feel me?

I keep asking questions with no answers Was I your love,

or just another chapter?

Mmm,

they're rottin' my brain,

love These hoes are the same I gave you my heart,

you gave me the pain Now I'm calling your phone,

but you don't say my name I tell everybody that I'm doing

okay But the truth comes alive when the lights fade away You

left me with memories I can't explain Now I'm dead inside,

dancing with the rain

I put my feelings in a song 'cause I can't say them

loud I learned to hide my sadness in the middle of a

crowd

Everybody sees the smile,

nobody sees the damage I was building us a future,

you were planning your advantage Maybe I ignored the signs,

maybe I was blind Maybe I was holding on while you were

changing your mind I don't need you to come back just to

tell me you're sorry I just wish I could forget the way

you said you adored me If I see you with somebody,

I won't make a scene I'll drive into the night and let

the silence speak I still miss the way you held me,

that's the hardest part You can leave my life forever,

but not my heart If I could go back,

would I love you the same?

Would I walk through the fire,

would I still take the pain?

Maybe some people leave so you learn to let go But why

does losing you feel like losing my soul?

Losing my soul…

my soul…

Mmm, they're rottin' my brain,

love These hoes are the same I built up these walls from

the pieces you gave Now I'm learning to breathe,

now I'm learning my name I tell everybody that I'm doing okay

And one day I might mean every word that I say You

left me with memories,

but I won't stay chained I'm still hurt,

still alive, still walking through the rain Three a.m.,

your side of the bed is cold Some goodbyes don't make a

sound, they fade into the night

Mmm, they're rottin' my brain,

love…

But I'll be alright.
