Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All I can ever be to you
Is the darkness that we knew
And this regret I got accustomed to
[Verse 2]
Once it was so right
When we were at our height
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
[Verse 3]
I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
[Verse 4]
It's my responsibility
And you don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity
[Chorus]
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
[Verse 5]
I don't understand
Why do I stress the man
When there's so many bigger things at hand?
[Verse 6]
We could've never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
[Verse 7]
Even if I stopped wanting you
And perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
[Verse 8]
I cannot play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men
[Chorus]
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
[Bridge]
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above a blaze
[Chorus]
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
[Verse 9]
I wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
'Cause as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see
[Chorus]
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way
My blue shade
My tears dry on their own
[Chorus]
Whoa, he walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way
My deep shade
My tears dry on their own
[Outro]
He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I am grown
And in your way
My deep shade
My tears dry
