don't let the sun go down on me



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

it's much 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 blinded by the light

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--
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
they need love
to help them heal

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--
but losing everything
is like the sun going down on me

if you love somebody, set them free

free, free, set them free
free, free, set them free
free, free, set them free
if you need somebody
call my name
if you want someone
you can do the same
if you want to keep something precious
you got to lock it up and throw away the key
if you want to hold onto your possession
don't even think about me

if you love somebody
if you love someone
if you love somebody
if you love someone, set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free

if it's a mirror you want
just look into my eyes
or a whipping boy
someone to despise
or a prisoner in the dark
tied up in chains you just can't see
or a beast in a gilded cage
that's all some people ever want to be

if you love somebody
if you love someone
if you love somebody
if you love someone, set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free

you can't control an independent heart
can't tear the one you love apart
forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
we can't live here and be happy with less
so many riches
so many souls
with everything we see that we want to possess

if you need somebody
call my name
if you want someone
you can do the same
if you want to keep something precious
you got to lock it up and throw away the key
you want to hold onto your possession
don't even think about me

if you love somebody
if you love someone
if you love somebody
if you love someone, set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free
set them free

just give me a reason

right from the start, you were a thief,
you stole my heart --
and i, your willing victim
i let you see the parts of me
that weren't all that pretty --
and with every touch
you fixed them
now, you've been talking in your sleep
oh oh, things you never say to me
oh oh, tell me that you've had enough
of our love, our love --

just give me a reason
just a little bit's enough
just a second, we're not broken
just bent, and we can learn to love again
oh, it's in the stars,
it's been written in the scars on our hearts --
we're not broken
just bent, an we can learn to love again

i'm sorry i don't understand where
all of this is coming from --
i thought that we were fine
(oh, we had everything)
your head is running wild again
my dear, we still have everything
and it's all in your mind
(yeah, but this is happening)
you've been having real bad dreams
oh oh, you used to lie so close to me
oh oh, there's nothing more than empty sheets
between our love , our love --
oh, oh, our love, our love --

just give me a reason,
just a little bit's enough
just a second, we're not broken
just bent --
and we can learn to love again
oh, I never stopped --
you're still written in the scars
on my heart --
we're not broken
just bent --
and we can learn to love again


oh, tear ducts and rust
i'll fix it for us
we're collecting dust,
but our love's enough.
you're holding it in
you're pouring a drink
no, nothing is as bad as it seems --
we'll come clean

just give me a reason,
just a little bit's enough
just a second, we're not broken
just bent --
and we can learn to love again.
oh, it's in the stars
it's still written in the scars on our hearts --
we're not broken
just bent --
and we can learn to love again
