[Verse 1]
The sound of my heart beats in my ears
Used to be yours I used to hear
But nobody told me how it would be
Now it's clear
'Cause every night is a taste of fear
I never thought you'd disappear
I took you to heart and held you near
But now you're gone

[Chorus]
I am wound up tight so I can't let go
And I hide my fear, but I think you know
It's a long dark night when you're sleepless
In the dead of night I can't turn it off
Just the ghost of you, when it's not enough
It's a long dark night when you're sleepless

[Post-Chorus]
When you're sleepless

[Verse 2]
Every hour takes so, so long
The fire is burning way too strong
It isn't the Ecstasy that's gone
I know it's you
I wait for the sun to touch my face
Putting the darkness in its place
All of the fear don't leave a chance
Till tomorrow

[Chorus]
I am wound up tight so I can't let go
And I hide my fear, but I think you know
It's a long dark night when you're sleepless
In the dead of night I can't turn it off
Just the ghost of you, when it's not enough
It's a long dark night when you're sleepless

[Post-Chorus]
When you're sleepless
When you're sleepless
When you're sleepless

[Chorus]
I am wound up tight so I can't let go
And I hide my fear, but I think you know
It's a long dark night when you're sleepless

[Post-Chorus]
When you're sleepless
When you're sleepless
