Lyrics

sky so blue it seems too good to be true
but i can't stop thinking bout the ways this might end up all wrong
i like to say i'm optimistic, cos i have to be
but every once in a while my heart likes to fall asleep
 
sorry if this gets a bit confusing
i'm a little all over the place right now but its chill, cos i'm having fun
'why won't you miss me' well of course you knew i would
and i do, more than anyone right now, oh
so now i'm here tryna make this dream come true
i like to say i know my fate, we'll have to wait and see
a storm is waiting for me, but there's a rainbow on the other side
i think i'll make it through it, cos i was born to take the stride
 
todays a different vibe, yeah
the sun ain't in the sky
something has happened that
makes me wanna cry
the fact that i can't make you happy
is what's really killing me
you kept me going, but now its all just me
you got me singing like
 
oh, i don't know what you're tryna do to me
but i can't blame you, you are oh so sweet
i hate to think of us as nothing more than friends
but i guess that might just be the case, and you'd be quite hard to replace
 
the day i met you i knew you were far from ordinary
it felt like i had known you before
i miss you and the days we'd ponder silly things,
but the time went by too fast and now i have no one to hear my strings
i hate to come off as a narcissistic guy
its just that you lit up the world for me and now you don't even reply
i know he's probably better for you than me
please don't take offense to that, it's how i feel and you deserve to be happy
 
todays a different vibe, yeah
the sun ain't in the sky
something has happened that
makes me wanna cry
the fact that i can't make you happy
is what's really killing me
you kept me going, but now its all just me
you got me singing like
 
oh, i don't know what you're tryna do to me
but i can't blame you, you are oh so sweet
i hate to think of us as nothing more than friends
but i guess that might just be the case, and you'd be quite hard to replace
