Sleepless Night

Nicolas Chamillet

Compositor: Nicolas Chamillet

I thought we were steady, like trees in the fall
But it turns out we were just waiting to fall
You dressed up your words like golden leaves
But underneath, all I got was fucking grief

The sky was painted in shades of grey
Just like your promises, fading away
I stayed up, haunted by your voice
Wondering when we lost the choice

Now the cold creeps in like an endless fight
I'm trapped in this sleepless night

It was all a mirage, you and me
I thought we were fire, but it was debris
Now the autumn winds blow through my mind
Left searching for answers I’ll never find
Fuck, I thought I had you right
But now I'm stuck in this sleepless night

The leaves fell down, just like my trust
Turned to ash, everything's dust
You said we’d be more than just a phase
Now I'm staring at these empty days

The Moon hides behind the clouds tonight
Like the way you hid from every fight
I'm losing count of the lies you spun
Was it all just a twisted run?

Now the cold creeps in like an endless fight
I'm trapped in this sleepless night

It was all a mirage, you and me
I thought we were fire, but it was debris
Now the autumn winds blow through my mind
Left searching for answers I’ll never find
Fuck, I thought I had you right
But now I'm stuck in this sleepless night

Grey skies, grey hearts, I'm sinking slow
The night’s too long when you're alone, you know?
I gave my all, but you took your leave
Now I'm drowning in the shit I used to believe

It was all a mirage, you and me
I thought we were fire, but it was debris
Now the autumn winds blow through my mind
Left searching for answers I’ll never find
Fuck, I thought I had you right
But now I'm stuck in this sleepless night

Sleepless night, just grey and cold
Chasing a dream that’s long been sold
I was holding on to an illusion
Only to find out the hard way that you're a bad person

In the dark, in the dark, in the dark I cried
In the worst moment, in the worst moment, in the worst moment, I screamed
In the morning, in the morning, in the morning, I realized the Sun was already here
Maybe it will heal me from the pain, from the pain, from the pain that you caused

It was all a mirage, you and I
I thought we were fire, but we were wreckage
Now the autumn winds blow through my mind
Left searching for answers I'll never find
Damn, I thought I had you right
But now I'm stuck in this sleepless night
