I lie awake, and think of her songs
Think about how she never stays in one place for very long

But when she sings of darkness,
It speaks to me,
When she sings of the light,
For a moment I'm free

I lie awake, no I cannot sleep

All the beautiful boys, seem to catch her eye
Oh but beauty is something I've never been able to claim as being mine

But it seems like desire has a will of it's own
Devours all in it's path before moving on
In it's wake it leaves the chill
of knowing you're alone

I lie awake, I cannot sleep

I lie awake, I long for peace
I lie awake, she is not for me,
No she's not for me
