it's 4am and i'm staring at the ceiling
every word i sing is losing all its meaning
4am and i think i'm about to lose it
my life is a mess but i'll always choose it
and i guess i don't need my family
and i guess i don't need my friends
and i guess i don't need the love of my life
i clip my wings and look at the sky
as tears run down my eyes
all that's left to do is cry
it's 4am and they think they really know me
this smile on my face doesn't always come easy
4am and i think i'm about to lose it
my life is a mess but i'll always choose it
and i guess i don't need my family
and i guess i don't need my friends
and i guess i don't need the love of my life
i clip my wings and look at the sky
as tears run down my eyes
all that's left to do is cry
this is what everybody dreams of
this is what everybody tries
this is what everybody dreams of
as tears run down my eyes
all that's left to do is cry
