Through the sleepless nights I cry for you 
& wonder who is kissing you 
Oh these sleepless nights will break my heart in 2 

Somehow through the days I don't give in 
I hide the tears that wait within 
Oh but then through sleepless nights I cry again 

Why did you go? 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 
Oh my love, please end these sleepless nights for me
