daybreak
Ebba Forsberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and watch the sunrise make daybreak
You are everything and more
Pain in my heart
this bottomless sorrow
this is not for real
this cannot be happening
What did you expect little darling
from this life of yours
Didn't anybody tell you
life's just full of whores
And when you leave me
darling
cry your tears
'cause I have loved
and lost a love
today
I told you
you see
it will come
just watch me
and I threw my hands and
my feet in the air
and flew like I've never flown
That's when you appeared
from somewhere
I don't know from where
but thought
this is happening
this is truly happening
What did you expect little
darling
from this life of yours
Didn't anybody tell you
life's so full of whores
And when you leave me darling
cry your tears
'cause I have loved
and lost a love
today
There's no start
there's no beginning
there's no start
is no ending
you sighed and I cried and
I cried
I don't feel very heavy now
I don't feel the weight on my
shoulder
you said
then turned your back on me
and your baby
What did you expect little
darling
from this life of yours
Didn't anybody show you
life's so full of whores
And when you leave me darling
cry your tears
'cause I have loved
and lost a love
today

Such a crazy night to be awake
It's strange to be up all night, but I'm unable to sleep
and watch the sunrise make daybreak
To see the sunrise and the day begin
You are everything and more
You are the most important person to me
Pain in my heart
I feel emotional hurt
this bottomless sorrow
My sadness is never-ending
this is not for real
I can't believe this is happening
this cannot be happening
I can't accept that this is happening
'cause you are all that I adore
I love you more than anything
What did you expect little darling
Did you have any expectations, my dear?
from this life of yours
From your own existence
Didn't anybody tell you
Didn't anyone inform you
life's just full of whores
Life is full of people who are deceitful and selfish
And when you leave me darling
If you leave me, my dear
cry your tears
Cry as much as you need to
'cause I have loved
Because I have loved deeply
and lost a love
And now I have lost that love
today
On this day
I told you
I warned you
you see
As you can see
it will come
It will happen
just watch me
Observe me
and I threw my hands and
And I raised my arms and
my feet in the air
Lifted my legs up high
and flew like I've never flown
And felt a sense of freedom like never before
That's when you appeared
At that moment, you arrived
from somewhere
I don't know where you came from
I don't know from where
I'm uncertain about your origin
but thought
But I believed
this is happening
That this is real and occurring
this is truly happening
This is honestly happening
There's no start
There's no beginning point
there's no beginning
There is no start
is no ending
There is no end
you sighed and I cried and
You breathed heavily and I shed tears
I don't feel very heavy now
I don't feel weighed down anymore
I don't feel the weight on my
I don't feel the burden on my
shoulder
Shoulders
you said
You spoke
then turned your back on me
Then you ignored me
and your baby
And your child
