(Verse)
It's 3 o'clock in the morning      I would also consider working to make the meter and line amounts equal to verse 2. This has 9 lines vs 8 lines in verse 2. Rhyme scheme should be consistent with what you've got in the other verse. At present it also is not the same. Something to think about.

I'm tired and this TV show is boring

I'm writing when I should be snoring

Oh oh oh

this is just a warning

Cause when I get up in the morning

I ain't gonna be happy to be alive

Black coffee I'll be pouring

To chug a lug just to stay alive


(Chorus)

And oooo ya I'm breaking.....

And oooo ya...oh ya I'm breaking...

Insomnia well it breaks you down

Insomniac ya I wear that crown

Can't shut off my mind it just runs around

I've run out sheep I used to slow it down




(Verse)
Look at that it's another crack in my ceiling

And the faucet has started to leak

Oh all my bones are now aching

All my non sleep has made me weak


Toss and turn till I hear a crack

Toss out my mattress, I don't need that

I'll just hop in my truck and drive around

Until the sun comes back around


(Chorus)

And oooo ya I'm breaking.....

And oooo ya...oh ya I'm breaking...

Insomnia well it breaks you down

Insomniac ya I wear that crown

Can't shut off my mind it just runs around

I've run out sheep I used to slow it down


(Bridge)
I can't believe that she's gone from my life
Still can't sleep cuz my thoughts twist like a knife
Blackened eyes and restlessness come not from war
It's the thoughts and emotional stress of when she walked out the door



(Chorus)

And oooo ya I'm breaking.....

And oooo ya...oh ya I'm breaking...

Insomnia well it breaks you down

Insomniac ya I wear that crown

Can't shut off my mind it just runs around

I've run out sheep I used to slow it down

Again,   use or lose my thoughts, but I do like what you've started.
