2 a.m. is for the lonely ones.

It is for the poets and the writers,

With a million words in their head at once.

It is for the ones considered fighters.

2 a.m. is for the poets and writers,

The soldiers that just came back from war.

They are the ones we consider fighters,

Trying to drink to forget what they swore.

2 a.m. is for the soldiers back from war,

Not for the lovers, warm in each other’s arms.

It's for the alcoholics at the bar,

To forget someone who left them alone.

No, 2 a.m. is not for the lovers,

With a million words in their head at once,

Trying to forget someone who left them,

It is for the lonely ones awake at night.

2 a.m.
