Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growin' tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
It's much too late to save myself from fallin'
I took a chance and changed your way of life
[Verse 2]
But you misread my meanin' when I met you
Closed the door and left me blind by the light
[Verse 3]
Don't let the sun go down on me, yeah
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me
[Verse 4]
I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
You see me once and see the way I feel
[Verse 5]
Don't discard me, baby, no, just because you think I mean you harm
(Just because you think I mean you harm, no)
But these cuts I have (Cuts I have)
They need love (They need love, they need love)
To help them heal
[Verse 6]
Oh, don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
'Cause losin' everything is like the the sun going down on me
[Verse 7]
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else that I see, yeah
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, baby, oh
'Cause losin' everything is like the the sun goin' down on me
