The Break

She keeps me wide awake

Every night, I fight to breathe

Can't get no sleep when my heart's just waiting for the break

She keeps me wide awake

The silence don't lie to me

In between these sheets

This heart's just waiting for the break

I can tell the smoke

But I can't see fire

The better angels in me

Are even better white liars

I thought the bumps in the road

Were a part of the ride

I see my side of the story through

Rose-colored eyes

She says him and I are nothing more

Just friends, I've been wrong about that before

She keeps me wide awake

Every night, I fight to breathe

Can't get no sleep when my heart's just waiting for the break

She keeps me wide awake

The silence don't lie to me

In between these sheets

This heart's just waiting for the break

I'm too tired to protect my feelings from fate

It's like I'm staring down the light of a runaway train

The anxiety will fade with a closed-eye kiss

Sometimes it ain't what it ain't when it is what it is

She said she's not walking out that door

I admit I've been wrong about that before

She keeps me wide awake

Every night, I fight to breathe

Can't get no sleep when my heart's just waiting for the break

She keeps me wide awake

The silence don't lie to me

In between these sheets

This heart's just waiting for the break

She needs me

Somewhere between this hell and paradise

She needs me

Somewhere between this hell and paradise

She keeps me wide awake

Every night, I fight to breathe

Can't get no sleep when my heart's just waiting for the break

She keeps me wide awake

The silence don't lie to me

In between these sheets

This heart's just waiting for the break
