Lyrics Wide Awake - Idris Elba, Shakka

Wide Awake

She says I’ve been working way too hard
She says love’s a thing you’ve left abroad
I say someday I will get there
She says that day I might not be there
When the sun goes down I don’t see you
I see someone who used to be you
Do you really want to go back there?
Does the darkness really compare
To this home and a bed
Hope isn’t there
But I’m holding my head up
Always depressed
And this hole that you left is always a test
Stop all the fighting
Reminding my darling that.
I’m wide awake when you sleep
I’m wide awake when you
I’m wide awake when you sleep
If I ain’t fighting then somebody’s dying
I’m wide awake when you sleep
I’m wide awake when you
I’m wide awake when you sleep
If I ain’t fighting then somebody’s dying
She said, «whose blood is that on your hands»?
No one here wears this lipstick brand
I said, let’s take a break and relax
She said if I go, then I won’t come back cause
When the sun goes down I don’t see you
I see someone who used to be you
Do you really want to go back there?
Does the darkness really compare
To this home and a bed
Hope isn’t there
But I’m holding my head up
Always depressed
And this hole that you left is always a test
Stop all the fighting
Reminding my darling that
I’m wide awake when you sleep
I’m wide awake when you
I’m wide awake when you sleep
If I ain’t fighting then somebody’s dying
I’m wide awake when you sleep
I’m wide awake when you
I’m wide awake when you sleep
If I ain’t fighting then somebody’s dying
