One Hundred Sleepless Nights Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't see your face (Oh, no)
Taken by the one hearted-race

Oh, now, don't tell your other man
He’s not part of the plan


[Chorus]
Failing lights amass one hundred sleepless nights
And I might be holding on too tight
But there's a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

[Bridge]
Do you still love me? I am dying to know
Or did you forget what we shared?
Out of sight, out of mind, I was never even there

[Chorus]
Failing lights amass one hundred sleepless nights
And I might be holding on too tight
But there's a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

[Outro]
This is the price you'll pay
Thoughts in your head that will never die
So don't you forget what we had

It's like I was never even there
Go!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This song is based on Vic’s on-again, off-again relationship with a woman over the course of several years. As the two were finally reconciling and moving toward something that felt permanent, she became pregnant with another man’s child and moved away. The song describes the night she told him.

Fuentes strays away from his normally abstract writing style in favor of straightforward storytelling. He does return to his more poetic techniques as the song progresses, further showing his ability for creative lyricism.
