Lyrics

Through the sleepless nights I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

Somehow through the day I don't give in
I hide the tears that wait within
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart again

Why did you go, oh why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know
I need you?

I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh let it be, please let it be
My love, please take these sleepless nights from me
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two
