5 in the AM

lyrics

It's 5 in the morning and I'm not asleep
It's 5 in the morning and I'm still awake
At 5 in the morning some people haven't slept
Because they are backshift heroes

But not me, I'm awake because of you
But not me, I'm awake because of you
You took my heart and gave me tears I weep
And that's why it ain't no wonder I can't sleep
'Cause of you

It's 5 in the morning and I have not slept
It's 5 in the morning and I'm smoking cigarettes
At 5 in the morning some people aren't asleep
Because they danced the night away

But not me, I'm awake because of you
But not me, I'm awake because of you
You took my heart and gave me tears I weep
And that's why it ain't no wonder I can't sleep
'Cause of you

I think you're a fucking liar
Love-bombed me, set me on fire
Then ghosted me
That's despicable behaviour
But I can't stop grieving
Gor your love
I'm deserving so much better
How the fuck did I fall for ya
Head over heels
Now I'm left here with the pieces of
Something that was never even real

I feel like a fucking idiot and
I wish there was some kind of switch I can flick
To make this all go away
Isn't it funny how we fill in the blanks with what we want to see
And we can't even imagine
All the shit that is actually there

It's 5 in the morning and you are in my head
It's 5 in the morning and there's my cold and empty bed
At 5 in the morning most people safely dream
Because they've got someone unlike you

But not me, I'm awake because of you
But not me, I'm awake because of you
You took my heart and gave me tears I weep
And that's why it ain't no wonder I can't sleep
'Cause of you

But not me, I'm awake because of you
But not me, I'm awake because of you
You took my heart and gave me tears I weep
And that's why it ain't no wonder I can't sleep
'Cause of you

But not me, I'm awake because of you
But not me, I'm awake because of you
You took my heart and gave me tears I weep
And that's why it ain't no wonder I can't sleep
'Cause of you
