All I can ever be to you
Is a darkness that we knew
And this regret I've got accustomed to
Once it was so right
When we were at our height
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
And you don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away I have no capacity

Hook:He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I don't understand
Why do I stress the man
When there's so many bigger things at hand
We could a never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you
And Perspective pushes true
I'll be some next man's other woman soon

I can not play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

Hook:He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above - a blaze

Hook:He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history
The shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze that lonley lovers see

Hook:He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way, my blue shade
My tears dry on their own

Hook
X2:He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way
In this deep shade
My tears dry
