It's 4am and the world's asleep
Shadows crawl
And secrets creep
The clock ticks loud
Like a broken drum
Alone I sit
While the silence hums
The moonlight
Spills on an empty floor
A ghost of laughter
Stands at the door
The echoes fade
Like a dying flame
I call the night
But it knows no name
4am and alone again
Counting stars
Like they're old friends
The night is heavy
It pulls me in
Whispered truths
Beneath my skin

The coffee's cold
But it keeps me sane
A bitter taste
For a sweeter pain
The mirror stares
Like it knows my sins
But offers nothing
Where hope begins
The world turns slow
But my mind's a race
Chasing dreams
That I can't embrace
The night won't answer
The questions I keep
4am feels like the heart of me
4am and alone again
Counting stars
Like they're old friends
The night is heavy
It pulls me in
Whispered truths
Beneath my skin
