lyrics

Did it really happen
Or was it just a dream?
After hours and nights and weeks and months of talking
You leaned in and kissed me

Can’t say it hadn’t crossed my mind
A thousand or so times,

But now I can’t seem to sleep
Been waiting all this time
To find out if you’re real
To find out if you’re mine,
And now I can’t seem to sleep,
Without thinking of you tonight

Did it really happen happen
Or am I just living in my dreams?
After holding hands, and counting stars, and dancing
You say you fell in love with me

Can’t say it never crossed my mind
Every time you caught my eyes,

And now I can’t seem to sleep
Been waiting all this time
To find out this is real,
To find out that you’re mine,
But now I can’t seem to sleep
Cause I’ve got you tonight
Did that really happen?
I wish it was a dream
After years of making promises together,
You broke them all and left me.

I didn’t know it ever crossed your mind…
I always thought we’d have more time,

But now I can’t seem to sleep
Been loving you all this time
Just to feel a pain so real -
That you’re no longer mine,
And now I can’t sleep
Without you beside me tonight.
