A soulful, heart-wrenching ballad by Adele that explores the deeply emotional experience of waking up in loneliness and longing. Accompanied by minimalistic piano melodies, this song dives into the depths of sorrow and the search for solace.
Verse 1:
Sometimes I wake up in the dark
With an ache so deep inside my heart
Loneliness whispers in the night
And I can't seem to find the light
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, the shadows, they dance around me
Binding me in their cold embrace
Every breath feels like a memory
Of the warmth I've yet to face
Chorus:
Sometimes I wake up in the dark
Searching for your touch, but you're so far
Every tear, a silent plea
Come back to where you ought to be
Verse 2:
The quiet screams louder than the storm
In a bed that's grown too cold to warm
Echoes of your voice linger near
Haunting every dream, every fear
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, the shadows, they dance around me
Binding me in their cold embrace
Every breath feels like a memory
Of the warmth I've yet to face
Chorus:
Sometimes I wake up in the dark
Searching for your touch, but you're so far
Every tear, a silent plea
Come back to where you ought to be
Bridge:
We used to laugh, we used to cry
Now I'm left here wondering why
The silence cuts, the pain is clear
But I still hold onto you, my dear
Chorus:
Sometimes I wake up in the dark
Searching for your touch, but you're so far
Every tear, a silent plea
Come back to where you ought to be
Outro:
Sometimes I wake up in the dark
With nothing but an empty heart
But I'll keep here waiting, true
Hoping someday I'll find you
