3 AM - Chiodos

I hear the sound of a clock,

And the drip of running water…

I never thought it’d be like this.

It’s 3 am, and I can’t sleep.

I had it all planned out.

Find a girl and get married,

Do things that make your dreams.

Oh, look at me,

What more you could need?

I knew that I could win a room because I’ve always had it.

… but love is a scary thing.

It’s what they never taught,

And I don’t know now what’s got me this far.

It’s only in the end when you were gone,

I didn’t realize what I had lost.

These one night stands are meaningless…

But I’m lying in bed, with a girl I just met,

At 3am.

I wish I would’ve loved you instead of being selfish,

And being so obsessed in my dreams.

Oh, look at me!

I’m surrounded by the lonely.

I thought that I could win you back because I’ve always had it.

… but love is a tricky thing.

It’s what they never taught, that when you lose what you love,

You lose a piece of your heart.

All I wanted was the world.

All you wanted was me.

It’s only in the end when you were gone,

I didn’t realize what I had lost.

These one night stands are meaningless…

But I’m lying in bed, with a girl I just met,

At 3am.

… and every day I still learn.

From the mistakes that I have made.

Who knew that things would be this way?

I’m here because I wouldn’t change.

I’ve fallen on my face,

But watch me get up again.

It’s only in the end when you were gone,

I didn’t realize what I had lost.

These one night stands are meaningless…

But I’m lying in bed, with a girl I just met,

At 3am.
