Streetlights flicker through the window pane
The ticking clock echoes in the quiet night
Once again, I’m left here all alone
The dark can't hide the loneliness I've known
Footsteps fading, echoes in retreat
Shadows of memories cast on the walls
Drifting through the waves of passing time
No words to save me from this endless fall
Wide awake at 5 AM
Why am I alone again?
At the edge of sleepless nights
Where does my restless heart take flight?
Wide awake at 5 AM
Talking to my shadow once again
If these nights go on this way
What do I have to give away?
Moonlight seeps through the curtains so faint
The chill of the air brushes against my skin
Every dream of you brings me closer to fear
The moment I wake, reality draws near
Empty words linger, haunting melodies
Time offers no promise of healing me
Staring at a broken clock again
My heart’s been frozen since it all began
Wide awake at 5 AM
Why am I alone again?
At the edge of sleepless nights
Where does my restless heart take flight?
Wide awake at 5 AM
Talking to my shadow once again
If these nights go on this way
What do I have to give away?
As I question the meaning of waiting for you
The scent of memories still lingers in this room
Caught in the loop of this endless night
Yet I’m still searching for a flicker of light
Wide awake at 5 AM
Why am I alone again?
At the edge of sleepless nights
Where does my restless heart take flight?
Wide awake at 5 AM
Talking to my shadow once again
If these nights go on this way
What do I have to give away?
