Wide awake when I need to be asleep Staring through the emptiness, asking again "what could be" If I stayed, would I be happy? Because when I left, I sure didn't feel any different Unsure on when I went wrong Went with my gut, felt like I was fleetingly strong Yet here I lay on a cold night Wishing I was someone else, or someone else had this life

Alone at Night
Wide awake when I need to be asleep Staring through the emptiness, asking again "what could be" If I stayed, would I be happy? Because when I left, I sure didn't feel any different Unsure on when I went wrong Went with my gut, felt like I was fleetingly strong Yet here I lay on a cold night Wishing I was someone else, or someone else had this life
