Lyrics

[Intro – gentle, vulnerable]
When the night refuses to end
and thoughts burn louder than the wind
When sleep just turns its back on me,
because you're gone – no remedy
The day begins with heavy weight,
‘Cause the night won’t let me escape
And I ask myself again –
how can you rest when nothing remains?
[Verse 1 – slow, heartfelt]
I get up, but still I drift
Caught in silence, cold and stiff
Make the coffee like before
But echoes haunt me even more
There’s no picture of you on the wall
I took it down – I took it all
But even though there’s nothing to see
You're the ghost that never leaves me
[Pre-Chorus – building emotion]
I cried for you,
then cursed your name
Tried to forget
but hurt the same
Laughed out loud
to numb the sting
But the ache stayed – whispering
[Chorus – emotional burst]
How can you sleep,
when your thoughts tear you apart?
How can you breathe,
with a war inside your heart?
I can tell you –
I’ve lived that fight
It’s a pain
that steals the night
Mind vs. heart,
no side will win
The soul just dies
from the scream within
[Verse 2 – deeper, rhythm begins]
We were three – you, me, and our child
A tiny spark in a world so wild
Then you drew your final line
Left me broken, lost in time
You against me – day by day
And the child just watched us slip away
She never cried,
but silence grew
'Cause even silence carries truth
[Bridge – emotional core, spoken word style]
How can you sleep,
when your thoughts cut like knives?
When the night becomes
a cage of all your lives?
I can tell you –
I live it still
Since you left,
there’s no more will
It’s a slow,
relentless burn
A war inside
with no return
The mind screams “Go”
The heart screams “Stay”
The soul just breaks
and fades away
Picture it –
the way it was with us three
You vs. me,
and the child in between
Not just fights –
it was our song
An echo I still carry on
And when I say “the three of us” –
I don’t just mean her and me
I mean the love that once lived here –
and all we’ll never be
Now I’m alone –
the child is with you
But her eyes –
they haunt me too
[Pre Chorus 2 – growing, orchestral]
How can you sleep,
when you lose yourself each day?
How can you love,
when love just fades away?
I hated you,
just to survive
Still missed you
every night
And all that’s left
is this silent cry
That rips me open –
night by night
[Final Chorus – epic, tearful, revised]
How can I heal,
when pain’s the only home I’ve known?
How can I trust,
when you shattered every stone?
I laughed until
I lost my face
Stayed quiet
in a hopeless place
Now you’re gone
but the scream stayed near
And her eyes remind me –
we were three...
And now I’m here
