I don't sleep at night
Not because we fight
But because we fight in front of them

I don't sleep at night
Not because of my day
But because of the harsh things that you say

I don't sleep at night
Not 'cause I can't sleep
But because of the way you treat me
I don't sleep at night
I don't sleep at night
I don't sleep at night

Not 'cause the bed's cold
Though sometimes I wish it were
It might be easier

It might be easier if I didn't remember
When our love was alive
It might be easier if I didn't see you
In my children's eyes

So I don't sleep at night
I just don't sleep at night
Losing sleep is easier than it was when I lost you
I don't know what to do
I don't recognize you
Losing sleep is easier than listening to my heart
And now we've grown apart
I'm not your sweetheart anymore
And I'm not keeping score
It's not like it was before
There's nothing to restore

But I don't sleep at night
It might be easier if I didn't remember
When our love was alive
It might be easier if I didn't see you
In my children's eyes
So I don't sleep at night

I don't sleep at night
I just don't sleep at night

I Don't Sleep at Night

When the pain comes from the inside, and I can't be your shield,
I hit my knees and pray to the One I know can heal.
and I'll be with you, my dear.

I've taught you from young, Mommy will protect you. And won't nobody ever be able to harm you.
But what do I do, I can't fail you?

I know I'm strong,
and Daddy's in the fight too
And we've got a great team here to guide us through, I'll take your hand,
We'll take care of you.
I'll fight anything that goes bump in the night,You're safe here with me,
you're gonna be alright!

But When the pain comes from the inside, and I can't be your shield,
I hit my knees and pray to the One I know can heal.
and I'll be with you, my dear.

I'll be your warrior!
I'll take the lead in the fight!
I'll be another in the fire,
with Jesus by our sides!
You will never be alone in this fight!

When the pain comes from the inside, and I can't be your shield,
I hit my knees and pray to the One I know can heal.
and I'll be with you, my dear.

I'll Be Your Warrior

I Dont Belong Here

I showed up battered and bruised,
A smile on my face,
Singing Amazing grace,
but I didnt feel it.

I came in broken, confused,
A walkin’ disgrace,
painful commonplace,
But you didn’t see it.

You didn’t cause it
And you didn’t know it
But I’d been through it.
He sent you to heal it.

And you showed up,
When he said get out.
And you stepped up,
Before my flame could burnout…
You saved my faith,
You gave me hope,
With no place to go,
You welcomed me in

And you went to work,
To heal what he hurt
When tossed to the side
You stood beside me

Though you didnt cause it
And you didnt know it
And I’d been through it
But you came to heal it,

I came in broken.
But I stand here healin’
A smile on my face,
Singing Amazing Grace,
Now I can feel it.
It was never my fault.
And because of you
I can stand tall,
My bruises are healing
And that sinking feelin’
The pain I’ve been concealin’
I one day, maybe, can lay
to rest.

You Showed Up

[Verse 1]
Your car's looking pretty fancy there
And that cute dress is gonna make 'em stare
But if the inside don't match the out
You're missing what it's all about

[Chorus]
All we can take with us are our friends
And you don't wanna miss them then
Do you recognize the stakes?
Bring your plus one to those pearly gates

[Verse 2]
Yeah, that penthouse is pretty sweet
And you got friends I'd love to meet
Life ain't a contest you gotta win
It's a harvest for the fruit within

[Chorus]
All we can take with us are our friends
And you don't wanna miss them then
Do you recognize the stakes? (Yeah, I actually do)
Bring your plus one to those pearly gates

[Bridge]
Plus one, plus two
Who you taking, who you taking with you?
Three, four, five, six
Can I be your witness?

[Chorus]
All we can take with us are our friends
And you don't wanna miss them then
Do you recognize the stakes?
Bring your plus one to those pearly, those pearly gates

Plus One

You’re the God who sees me. You’re the God who knows me. You’re the God who calls me by name.

Elroy, Hosanna, Almighty, You are for me!
El Olam, Jehovah, Yahweh, You made a way!

By The Blood You tore the veil!
Death can try to no avail!
Mine is Yours, and Yours is mine.
Glory to The One Devine!
And all creatures rejoice…
All the saints lift your voice!

Elohim, Father, I Am… no other!
Three-in-One, The Great Healer,
Mighty Savior, King of Kings!

By The Blood You tore the veil!
Death can try to no avail!
Mine is Yours, and Yours is mine.
Glory to The One Devine!
And all creatures rejoice!
All the saints lift your voice!

Let every heart proclaim The Truth
Let every rock cry out Your name!
Let every wave bow down in praise!
For Your Son conquered the grave!
And by Your promise, we will too,
Rise eternal to dwell with You!

Promise Keeper. Cornerstone.
You are The God I praise alone
You are The God on Heaven’s throne.

Many names, The One Truth. We place all our hope in You.

About Me

Bio

Jessica W. is a lyricist and topline songwriter specializing in emotionally authentic storytelling across contemporary Christian, country, and soulful ballads. Drawing inspiration from real-life experiences and moments of faith, her songs are built around honest vulnerability and powerful chorus statements that resonate with listeners.

Jessica’s writing process begins with melody and story. She captures ideas organically—often singing lines into voice recordings as the emotion unfolds—allowing songs to develop naturally from personal experience into universal themes of love, loss, grace, resilience, and redemption.

Her lyrical style blends conversational phrasing with vivid imagery, creating songs that feel intimate yet relatable. Whether writing reflective faith-centered material, heartfelt country narratives, or emotionally rich ballads, her goal is always the same: to write songs that feel real enough for artists to inhabit and powerful enough for audiences to remember.

Jessica enjoys collaborating with producers, musicians, and artists who are looking for meaningful, melody-driven songs with strong lyrical depth. She is particularly drawn to projects in the Christian, country, and inspirational genres, but also enjoys exploring R&B-influenced ballads and crossover material.
