I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blind by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun)
To wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal
Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun)
To wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun)
Although I search myself it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun)
To wander free, yeah
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
