Aldren Briones - Insomnia Lyrics

I just can't seem to fall asleep
Counting sheep has become a pastime
I'm used to sleeping in the night
But the dark has become so bright
Right, we always said they were the right words
And that there was nothing to compromise
But my mourning eyes had seen
The iceberg way before the ship even capsized
With every memory
I keep on asking when
If you'll come back to me
Again, again
'Cause you're the reason that I can't sleep
As I'm falling in reverse before you
Reason that I can't sleep
When I close my eyes, I'm blinded by you
(Why)
Can't I just
(Stop)
Forget me
(Now)
When you're with someone better
I'll stay here with what we've started
When dreams become
Regrets of the broken-hearted
You were the reason that the sun rose
Turning all the stars in the sky blue
You were the reason that my heart thought
True love was some thing only I knew
So why are the inside of my eyelids
Stained with every picture of me and you
And I will continue to stay here not sleeping
'Cause my heart told me not to
And just like the setting moon
You're gone before the day
But you will come back soon
But not to stay
'Cause you're the reason that I can't sleep
As I'm falling in reverse before you
Reason that I can't sleep
When I close my eyes, I'm blinded by you
(Why)
Can't I just
(Stop)
Forget me
(Now)
When you're with someone better
I'll stay here with what we've started
When dreams become
Regrets of the broken-hearted
(I'll be right here if you just wake up)
(Go to sleep, where the dreams don't seem to taunt you)
And when I can't fall asleep
Insomnia's what I find
When I'm tired of counting sheep
I'm holding on to fantasies
That won't let you out of my mind
(Reasons that I can't sleep
As I'm falling in reverse before you
Reasons that I can't sleep)
When I close my eyes, I'm blinded by you
(Why)
Can't I just
(Stop)
Forget me
(Now)
When you're with someone better
As we part with lives uncharted
Here's to you, my dear departed
I'll stay right here with what we've started
When dreams become
Regrets of the broken-hearted
