All I can ever be to you is a darkness we once knew
And this deep regret I had to get accustomed to
Once it felt so right, anticipation at it's height
Lifting weight 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, you don't owe nothing to me
But to cut myself off I have no capacity

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I'm grown
And in your way, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own

I don't understand, why do I stress the man
When there's so many better things than him at hand
We coulda never had it all, we had to hit a wall
And this is inevitable withdrawal

Even if I stopped 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 way, in this cool shade
My 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 ablaze that only lovers see

He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day but I am grown
And in your way, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away, the whole sun goes down
He takes the day but I am grown
Baby, in your way, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own

Yeah, in your grey, this shade
My tears dry on their own
In your grey, this cool shade
My tears dry on their own
In your grey, in this cool shade
My tears dry on their own
my tears dry on their own
