Sweat of the Night

Woke up in a cold sweat, heart racing fast
Felt the fear, but you held me till it passed
Shhhhhhhhhh, mmmmmm
Woke up in a cold sweat, heart racing fast
You pulled me close, said the fear won't last
Breathes in, ahhhhhhhh

Saw a nightmare, but you were there
Held me tight, like you always care
Miss you, mmmmmm
Whispered soft, "It's just a dream"
In your arms, it's never as bad as it seems

Your voice was calm, chased the dark away
With you beside me, it's all okay
Ohhhhhh, ummmmmm
I closed my eyes, found peace in you
In that moment, every fear withdrew
Ummmm, withdrew

But when I'm alone, it's not the same
The shadows creep, they call my name
Shhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh
No hand to hold, no voice so kind
Just me and the fear, no peace to find

When you're here, the darkness fades
But alone, I fall into the shade
Miss you, ahhhhhhhh
No comfort there, no safe embrace
Just a lonely night I can't erase

Another night, and you're not here
The silence grows, I feel the fear
Miss you, ohhh
I reach for you, but the bed is cold
The nightmare's back, and I feel so old

I close my eyes, but I can't escape
The room feels tight, like a closing drape
Mmm, breathe out, breathe out
No voice to whisper, "It's okay"
I fight the dark, till it fades away

When you're here, I'm never afraid
The room feels tight, like a closing drape
Mmm, breathe out
Ohhh, when I'm left to face it alone
I feel so lost, out on my own

But when I'm alone, it's not the same
The shadows creep, they call my name
Shhhhhhhhhh
No hand to hold, no voice so kind
Just me and the fear, no peace to find

When you're here, the darkness fades
But alone, I fall into the shade
Miss you, ahhhhhhhh, ahhh
No comfort there, no safe embrace
Just a lonely night I can't erase

Woke up in a cold sweat, heart racing fast
Miss you, ohhhhhhh, mmmmmm
But you weren't there, and the fear won't pass
Breathes out, shhhhhhh
Woke up in a cold sweat, heart racing fast
No one to hold me, the night won't last
Miss you, ahhhhhhhh
