The song “I Can’t Sleep” was first released in August 2019 on Negative XP’s SoundCloud, and is part of the album “Gamer” which was released in April 2020. The verses and chorus clearly describe the artist experiencing insomnia and heartbreak, dreaming of and remembering an ex-girlfriend.
I can't sleep and I don’t wanna dream
Because you come back to me
And I don't want an apology
Just stay away from me
I can't sleep and I don’t wanna dream
Because you come back to me
When I wake you're still in my brain
And it brings me pain it brings me
Pain into my life
Headaches and shame
Misery and rain
It cuts like a knife
Memories that won't go away
Go away
And I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
Because you come back to me
Hate, heartaches and tears
Wasted years
Memories of yesterday
I heard your name somewhere today
And I couldn't explain my state
Of mind I tried hard to find
How I felt inside and how I tried to hide
I can't sleep and I don't wanna dream
Because you come back to me
When I wake you’re still in my brain
And it brings me pain it brings me
Pain into my life
Headaches and shame
Misery and rain
It cuts like a knife
Memories that won’t go away
Go away
And I can't sleep
I don’t wanna dream
Because you come back to me
Hate, heartaches and tears
Wasted years
Memories of yesterday
I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
I can't sleep
I don’t wanna dream
I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
I can't sleep
I don't wanna dream
