Lyrics

All I can ever be to you is the darkness we once knew

And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to

Once, it felt so right, anticipation at its height

Lived and waited in hotel rooms late at night

I knew I hadn't met my match, with every moment we could snatch

I don't know why I let myself get so attached

It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me

But to cut myself off I had no capacity

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

And in your grey, in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

I don't understand, why do I stress a man

When there's so many better things than him at hand?

We could've never had it all, we had to hit a wall

And this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stop wanting you, and perspective pushes through

I'll be some next man's other woman soon

I cannot play myself again, I should just be my own best friend

Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

And in your grey, in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

Wish I could say "no regrets" and "no emotional debts"

And as we kiss goodbye, the sun behind you sets

So we are history, your shadow covers me

The sky above, a blaze that only lovers see

He walks away, the sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

And in your grey, in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

He walks away, the whole sun goes down

He takes the day, but I'm grown

Baby, in your grey, in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

Yeah, in your grey, in this shade

My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

In your grey, in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)

In your grey, in this cool shade

My tears dry on their own (tears dry on their own)
