It’s four o’clock in the morning and I can’t get to sleep
Some kinda crazy terror’s got a grip on me
Has got a grip on me, has got a grip on me
I’m sittin’ on my bed, I’m starin’ at the moon
I’m waitin’ for the morning sun to shine on through
Come shinin’ through, come shinin’ through
Life and death before me and I can’t tell which is which
I can’t make no connections, I can’t find the light switch
And I don’t know why, and I don’t know why
And I don’t know why – and I don’t care
If you can hear me out there, I’m countin’ on you
To see me through, see me through tonight
Thinkin’ ’bout the past and it’s makin’ me blue
But I can’t remember if it’s somethin’ that I did or didn’t do
And I don’t know why, and I don’t know why
And I don’t know why – and I don’t care
If you can hear me out there, I’m countin’ on you
To see me through, see me through tonight
Sometimes it seems like the whole world’s dyin’ of a broken heart
I swear I was only tryin’, tryin’ to make a new start
Sometimes it gets so hard, you know it gets so hard
I tried so hard to love you, I tried so hard to care
But after all is said and done, I’m still here and you’re still there
And I don’t know why, and I don’t know why
And I don’t know why – and I don’t care
If you can here me out there, I’m countin’ on you
To see me through, see me though tonight
Sometimes it seems like the whole world’s dyin’ of a broken heart
I swear I was only tryin’, tryin’ to make a new start
Sometimes it gets so hard, you know it gets so hard
And maybe tomorrow the sun will shine, maybe the birds will sing
But tonight I’m all alone and the night keeps comin’ on in
And I don’t know why, and I don’t know why
And I don’t know why – and I don’t care
If you can hear me out there, I’m countin’ on you To see me through, see me through tonight
