About the work
These Are the Nights I Should’ve Slept
[Spoken Intro]
Some night, I lit a candle and left the door unlocked,
Hoping your silence was just distance, not goodbye.
But every flicker in the dark,
It was just my heart pretending it still had a home.
I gave you my dreams,
And you sold them for secrets.
But even now, I don’t hate you.
I hate how much I still wish you loved me right.
[Verse 1]
I remember nights we watched the rain,
The city lights, a window pane.
You said forever with tired eyes,
While hiding truths behind your lies.
I wore your name like it was gold,
But you were never mine to hold.
The bed was warm, the silence cold,
Believing stories I was told.
[Pre-Chorus]
I begged the night to bring you back,
And still you never came.
[Chorus]
These are the nights I should’ve slept,
Not crying for what I never kept.
You kissed me deep and disappeared,
Left your ghost in everything.
I danced with hope, I bled with grace,
Woke alone in our own place.
Perfume left on my pillowcase,
Like sweet poison dressed in tenderness.
[Verse 2]
You said I was your midnight fire,
But burned me out with your desire.
I should’ve known the love I had,
Was just the love that breaks me down.
[Chorus]
These are the nights I should’ve slept,
Not praying for what I’ll never have.
You kissed me deep and disappeared,
Like your ghost in every minute.
I danced with hope, I bled with grace,
And walked alone through empty streets.
[Bridge]
I walked past our café today,
Still saw your shape, still heard your name.
A stranger sat in your old seat,
But still I couldn’t breathe.
[Final Chorus]
These are the nights I won’t forget,
The lies you wrapped in sweet regret.
But I survived the cruelest truth:
You never loved me like I loved you.
[Spoken Outro]
Tonight, I’ll finally sleep.
Not because I’ve stopped loving you.
Not because I’ve started loving me.
