Sunset
Mi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In another life, I could’ve seen you
You were doing dirt, I would’ve cleaned you
I was always working, we were always hurting, it was picture perfect, I didn’t mean to
Push harder than you could push back, extend my heart, you didn’t trust that
The longest showers, we would talk for hours, you ignored the flowers I would bring you
Now the memories are all faded, I don’t smile no more, I’m so jaded
You removed the light when you left my life, so where the sun shined is all shaded
The only one I ever hated, sometimes I wish we never dated
But, I can’t say that just because I’m mad, cause at one point you were my favorite
I used to exercise, and now I’m lazy
I could remember shit and now I’m hazy
You cast the stone, like you were never wrong and I shoulda known you were crazy
But, through it all you were my baby, and I appreciate the way you made me
True colors show, something’s we’ll never know, whether it’s a yes, no, or a maybe
Shine... (I’m shining, I’m shining, you see my light?)
Forever mine (It’s blinding, it’s blinding, cause it’s so bright)
(Oh how I’ve grown, but you’ll never see me)
The timing, the timing, just wasn’t right
I’m finding, I’m finding, I’ll be alright
It’s clear... (when hearts start to break where do they go)
You’re not from here (you find out one day, you’re on your own)
I wish you could stay, pick up the phone
But you walked away, left me alone
(So far away)
The essence of your presence: A present that I will cherish
The stressing over perishing was taxing, not talking tariffs
I’m confessing to depression, a lesson, don’t tell my parents
Finessing all my blessings, the next one? We could’ve shared it
Your soul... (All that glitters ain't gold, love is never worth your soul)
I want to know (Plenty other hands to hold, a broken heart might turn cold)
(I’m Right here but you didn’t need me)
Real love will never fold, no matter if it's new or old
Remember what you've been told, don't buy every lie you've been sold
So go... (To the unknown)
Not trying to be shady just wishing you would’ve waited
Go to sleep so late at night just to wake up not seeing your faces
Problem solving’s not your thing, you chose distance stead of patience
Dreamt about you every night, it was so close I almost taste it
Rose colored glasses I adopted, Cause clear vision would’ve stopped it
Must've been blinded by my tries because I found it hard to knock it
Even the anger didn’t shock me, just a little outta pocket
You left my heart right where you got it, then took off just like a rocket
Fly... (Imma do better, just keep my head up)
Don’t act so shy (No matter the weather, just keep my head up)
(Love unbound but you didn’t free me)
It's whatever, whatever, just keep my head up
Do better, I better, just keep my head up
Soar... (What's small things to a giant)
(Come back no more... (And there won't be no more crying)
This process is hard and I ain't lying
Not worried 'bout timing, just know I'm trying




(Take me away)
(Take me away)

夕日が影を細く伸ばした
心を深く染めていく
きっと最後の時間だと 涙こらえてた
思い出なんていつも悲しすぎるばかり
いっそ忘れてしまいたいよ
二度と会えない君の背中と
最後の夕日見つめ続けた
いつもいつも優しすぎたね
今は遅すぎるけれど

Stop the sunset 君を失いたくない
空を抱きしめて包み込むように
そっとうつむいた君の横顔
夕日よこのまま沈まないでいて
いつも過ごした二人の部屋と
海を歩いた PHOTOGRAPH
一つ交わした約束が 果たせず過ぎていく
心細くなってた 一人の部屋に座って
遠くに聞こえる雨音
いつか忘れていく気持ちならば
こんなに心苦しめないで
そっとそっとくずれ落ちていく
今はこの雨にうたれ
もう泣いていいかな 君はいないよ
涙あふれても止めないでいて
雨よ凍らせてこの心まで
そっとこのまま消えてしまいたいよ

Stop the sunset 今は歌わないでいて
海に落ちてゆく 悲しい色ね
ずっとこの場所で一人にさせて
夕日よこのまま 沈まないでいて



@Finale216

Esa puesta de sol
Se ha clavado en mi interior
Desgarrando sombras en mi corazón.
Cuando me dijiste esta es la última vez
Al llanto no quise ceder.

Es tan deprimente recordar
Que aún no te consigo olvidar
Aunque aun contemplo la misma puesta de sol
Ya no estás
y nuesta historia atrás se quedó
No sé como apagar el fuego de esta pasión.

Siempre tu, siempre tu
Me entregaste tu calor
Y a pesar de que tarde es...anhelo

Que regreses conmigo
Y bajo este cielo
La puesta de sol quiero detener
Y así nunca perderte
Bajaste tu mirada
Que me hace desear
Que el sol no brille más
Nunca más verlo volver...

Te recuerdo en un rincón
Solos en mi habitación
Y al ver tu foto todo tiembla en mi interior.
En el mar donde solíamos caminar
Nuestra promesa va a perdurar.

En mi cuarto no hay más que soledad
Un corazón perdido en la oscuridad
Y el sonido de la lluvia en algún lugar,
Pensaré que el tiempo esos recuerdos borrará
Y el tormento que hay en mí corazón tendrá un final.

Una luz, una luz
Anunció el amanecer
La lluvia cae sobre mí...otra vez.

¿Será tiempo de llorar tu adiós?
Pues tu ya has partido
Lloverá aún si este dolor
Con lágrimas escribo.
El viento soplando fuerte
Mi corazón congela
Deseo que la nada
Deje todo en silencio...

Te pido ven conmigo
Se marchita mi canto
La puesta del sol detener
Sus colores se esconden,
Quédate siempre junto a mí
Detengamos el tiempo
Que el sol no brille más
Nunca más verlo volver...
