I can't light up
No more of your darkness
All of my pictures
Seem to fade to black and white

Oh, I've grown so tired
And time is standing still before me
It froze up right here
On the ladder of my life

It's much too late
To save myself from falling
I went on and took a chance
And changed your way of life

But you must have misread
Misread me when I met you
'Cause you closed the door
And left me here, blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always somebody else I see

If you just allow
A fragment of your life to wander free
'Cause I'm telling you that losing everything
It's like the sun going down on me

I can't seem to find
The right kind of romantic line
But see me once
You'll see exactly the way I feel

Oh, but don't discard me
Just 'cause you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I've got
They need a whole lot of love to heal

Please don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always somebody else I see

If you just allow yourself
A small bit of time to wander free
Lord 'cause I'm telling you that losing everything
It's like the sun going down on me

I don't wanna lose everything
It's like the sun going down on me
