Sunset
MI.LA Lyrics

In another life, I could’ve seen you
If things had worked out differently, we might have met in a different time and place.

You were doing dirt, I would’ve cleaned you
If you were in trouble, I would have helped you out of it.

I was always working, we were always hurting, it was picture perfect, I didn’t mean to
I was focused on my work and didn't realize that we were hurting each other despite our seemingly perfect relationship.

Push harder than you could push back, extend my heart, you didn’t trust that
I tried my best to make our relationship work, but you didn't trust my efforts.

The longest showers, we would talk for hours, you ignored the flowers I would bring you
We used to spend a lot of time together and have long conversations, but you didn't appreciate the gestures of love I made.

Now the memories are all faded, I don’t smile no more, I’m so jaded
I can't recall our happy moments anymore, and I'm no longer as happy as I used to be because of it.

You removed the light when you left my life, so where the sun shined is all shaded
You took away the happiness and light in my life, so everything that used to be bright and sunny now seems dull and grey.

The only one I ever hated, sometimes I wish we never dated
There are times when I regret being with you and even hate you for what you put me through.

But, I can’t say that just because I’m mad, cause at one point you were my favorite
Despite everything, there were times when you were my favorite person, so I can't just be mad at you.

I used to exercise, and now I’m lazy
After you left, I stopped caring about my health and let myself go.

I could remember shit and now I’m hazy
I used to have a good memory, but now I can barely remember anything.

You cast the stone, like you were never wrong and I shoulda known you were crazy
You always blamed me for our problems, and I should have seen that you were the crazy one all along.

But, through it all you were my baby, and I appreciate the way you made me
Despite everything, I still care about you and appreciate the positive impact you had on my life.

True colors show, something’s we’ll never know, whether it’s a yes, no, or a maybe
People's true colors will always reveal themselves eventually, but sometimes we'll never fully understand why they acted the way they did.

Shine... (I’m shining, I’m shining, you see my light?)
I'm doing well and succeeding despite everything that's happened between us.

Forever mine (It’s blinding, it’s blinding, cause it’s so bright)
The success I'm experiencing now is so bright and intense it's almost blinding.

(Oh how I’ve grown, but you’ll never see me)
I've grown and changed in so many ways, but you'll never get to witness that growth.

The timing, the timing, just wasn’t right
Things didn't work out between us because the timing wasn't right for our relationship to flourish.

I’m finding, I’m finding, I’ll be alright
I'm learning to heal and move on, and I know that eventually, I'll be alright.

It’s clear... (when hearts start to break where do they go)
When our hearts are broken, we don't know how to fix them.

You’re not from here (you find out one day, you’re on your own)
You don't belong here, and there will come a time when you realize you're on your own.

I wish you could stay, pick up the phone
There are times when I still wish you were here, and I could talk to you again.

But you walked away, left me alone (So far away)
You chose to leave me, and now I'm alone and trying to distance myself from the situation.

The essence of your presence: A present that I will cherish
Even though you're no longer here, the memories of being with you are something that I will always cherish.

The stressing over perishing was taxing, not talking tariffs
Worrying about losing you was overwhelming and stressful, and it had nothing to do with money.

I’m confessing to depression, a lesson, don’t tell my parents
I'm admitting to struggling with depression, but I don't want my parents to know.

Finessing all my blessings, the next one? We could’ve shared it
I took advantage of the good things in my life, including you, and I regret that we didn't get to share more together.

Your soul... (All that glitters ain't gold, love is never worth your soul)
We shouldn't sacrifice our souls or who we are for love, as not everything that seems great is actually valuable.

I want to know (Plenty other hands to hold, a broken heart might turn cold)
I wonder if there's someone else out there for me and if my heart will ever heal from this pain.

(I’m Right here but you didn’t need me)
Even though I was here for you, you didn't need me, and that hurts.

Real love will never fold, no matter if it's new or old
True love will never fade away, whether it's a new or long-lasting relationship.

Remember what you've been told, don't buy every lie you've been sold
Don't believe everything you're told, as some things may be untrue or manipulative.

So go... (To the unknown)
Go explore the unknown and don't be afraid to take risks and try new things.

Not trying to be shady just wishing you would’ve waited
I'm not trying to be mean, but I wish you had waited for me and given us more time.

Go to sleep so late at night just to wake up not seeing your faces
I go to bed late at night and wake up without seeing your face next to me, and it's hard to adjust.

Problem solving’s not your thing, you chose distance stead of patience
You didn't want to work through our problems and preferred to distance yourself instead of being patient and trying to fix things.

Dreamt about you every night, it was so close I almost taste it
I dream about you every night, and it feels so real that I can almost taste it.

Rose colored glasses I adopted, Cause clear vision would’ve stopped it
I chose to see our relationship in a positive light, even though it would have been better to see things as they really were.

Must've been blinded by my tries because I found it hard to knock it
I was so focused on trying to make things work that I couldn't see what was wrong and couldn't change it.

Even the anger didn’t shock me, just a little outta pocket
Even though you made me angry, it wasn't surprising or shocking because I already had a sense of what was happening.

You left my heart right where you got it, then took off just like a rocket
You broke my heart and then disappeared suddenly, leaving me feeling destroyed and abandoned.

Fly... (Imma do better, just keep my head up)
I'm going to keep moving forward and improving myself.

Don’t act so shy (No matter the weather, just keep my head up)
I won't be afraid or shy in the face of adversity or challenges.

(Love unbound but you didn’t free me)
Our love was free, but you didn't set me free from the trap of my own emotions.

It's whatever, whatever, just keep my head up
No matter what happens, I'll stay strong and keep moving forward.

Do better, I better, just keep my head up
I'll strive to improve myself and my life, no matter what obstacles come my way.

Soar... (What's small things to a giant)
I'm going to rise above my problems and challenges, just like a giant.

(Come back no more... (And there won't be no more crying)
Things won't be so difficult or painful once you're out of my life for good.

This process is hard and I ain't lying
Moving on and healing from the pain is a difficult process, and it's not easy.

Not worried 'bout timing, just know I'm trying
I'm not worried about how long the process takes, as long as I'm making progress and trying to get better.

(Take me away)
I wish I could escape the pain and go somewhere peaceful and calm.

(Take me away)
I wish I could escape the pain and go somewhere peaceful and calm.
