The Sun Has Set On Me
Theory of a Deadman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything has changed
But I just stay the same
For everyone's new dawn, and let go of what remains
A world of pretty things, they twinkle in the light
Each jokes me out, but you learn to live inside the darkness

The sun has set on me
The sun has set on me
The sun it sets me free
The sun has set on me

Like tears in the rain
And no one notice
A fear I can't explain
No one cares
If only I could see you smile
Before it fades to back
But the light is gone, I've learned to live inside the darkness

The sun has set on me
The sun has set on me
The sun it sets me free
The sun has set on me (The sun is set on me)

I wish that I could feel
I think I'd like the pain
But none of this is real
But I don't feel a thing

The sun has set on me (The sun is set on me)
The sun has set on me (The sun is set on me)
The sun it sets me free
The sun has set on me (The sun is set on me)

The sun has set on me
The sun has set on me
The sun has set on me
The sun has set on me
The sun has set on me




The sun has set on me
The sun has set on me
