Wide Awake - Idris Elba, Shakka

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
