Counting Of The Hours

(Song)

It's 12 a.m. and I can't bring myself to sleep,
Not while I'm hoping, I still find myself hoping,
Through this never ending vigil that I keep,
I can't bring myself to close my eyes,
I keep telling myself these pretty lies,
Maybe just maybe you'll be here tonight,
Maybe just maybe everything is going to be alright.

And I wait these endless nights,
For some sign that you're still there,
Holding on and staying strong,
Through this life that's so unfair,
It's another day we spend apart,
Another night that breaks my heart.

And time keeps passing by,
It's 1 a.m. and I've begun to cry,
But you'll never know these tears I've shed,
As I lie alone upon my bed,
I don't want you to see them rolling down my cheek,
I can't always help it if I cry,
But it doesn't mean I'm weak.

I've been strong enough to make it through,
I've always been the one to wait for you,
Believed in you when no one would,
Helped you stand when you didn't think you could,
I've been here through it all,
Your friend,
Your love,
Through every single fall.

And I wait these endless nights,
For some sign that you're still there,
Holding on and staying strong,
Through this life that's so unfair,
It's another day we spend apart,
Another night that breaks my heart.

As 2 a.m. rolls around,
I find myself curled up on the ground,
I don't want to still be awake,
Not sure how much more I can take,
Will this be the night I finally break,
I've been trying so hard,
For what feels like so long,
And it never seems to gets any better,
It just carries on and on
I'm trying to hold myself together,
Just long enough to reach the dawn.

And I wait these endless nights,
For some sign that you're still there,
Holding on and staying strong,
Through this life that's so unfair,
It's another day we spend apart,
Another night that breaks my heart.

While 3 a.m. is just the same,
Another hour, you never came,
This is the way these nights go,
They drag on for so long,
Painful and slow,
These are my nights without you here,
Waiting and waiting for you to appear.

And I wait these endless nights,
For some sign that you're still there,
Holding on and staying strong,
Through this life that's so unfair,
It's another day we spend apart,
Another night that breaks my heart.

Cause 4 a.m. has come and long since passed,
And sleep has caught me up at last,
Without you here to say sweet dreams,
I'm more of a mess than it may seem,
I miss you more than words can say,
It's never the same,
When you're gone away,
I can't sleep as well as when you're here,
Cause it's you, my love, that gives me hope,
You're the one who helps me cope.

As I wait these endless nights,
For some sign that you're still there,
Holding on and staying strong,
Through this life that's so unfair,
It's another day we spend apart,
Another night that breaks my heart.

These are the nights that you're not here,
The nights I spend alone,
Waiting, always waiting,
Cause it's you that are my home,
I'll sit and wait forever,
Endure all the pain it brings,
Just to be with you,
To be with only you, my dear,
Cause it worth everything to know,
One day you'll be here.
