[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You've been out there in the city
What did you bring back for me?
vicious preoccupation
With a darkness underneath
And there's something empty now
In the way that you live
Is there something you're hiding?
Oh darling, I'm afraid to ask
[Chorus]
Lie awaken 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
[Verse 2]
I've been sitting here waiting
Stare out the window on the street
Watch strangers come round the corner
Hoping it was you I'd see
I pretend not to notice
The distance in your eyes
But when you pull me in closer
Smell cigarette smoke and lies
[Chorus]
Lie awaken 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
[Interlude]
You're not the only one who ever needed
Speak, scream it aloud and showdown your demons
Lies make you weak and that's why you can't sleep
[Chorus]
Lie awaken 'cause you're worried in the dead of the night
Why are you staring at the ceiling till the morning light?
Is your heart pounding with a secret that you can't keep?
Tell me why you can't sleep
Tell me why you can't sleep
