This song is to describe that utter darkness you feel after a recent break-up and nothing in your life or routine seems normal anymore, something's missing. You desperately cling to anything that reminds you of that old life, even if it isn't real. You can't seem to fall asleep without that warm body next to you in bed. You just want to hold or talk to that person. You miss them so much. The lyrics cite- it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all-and although that might be true, it still makes getting over someone really hard. Available as a vocal version and an instrumental version.

| Lyrics: | Lately I've been struggling to fall asleep Cause it feels like my life's not complete Til I've called and said goodnight Sweet dreams and sleep tight It's been tough without you here, And I just want to hear your voice say I love you one more time. Even if you're lying, I don't care one bit If it means you'll say those words Then please be full of it. Cause I just want you back, So please let me pretend That this story can still have a happy end. Chorus: But if I wake up in the morning And this all was just a dream And nothing turns out quite the way it seems They say it's better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all I guess there is some truth in what they say Cause I'd rather have these memories of you Then have nothing at all Lately I've been trying just to think Cause it feels like my life's not complete Til I've called and said goodnight, Sweet dreams and sleep tight It's been tough without you here And I just want to hear your voice Say I miss you just one time Chorus I'd rather have these lonely nights I even miss those stupid fights I'd rather have them back and that's the truth Yea I'd rather never breathe again And boy I hope you're listening Cause I'd rather have these scars and battle wounds Then to never have had you Then to never have had you |
