SUNSET
Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember the day you first told me that
i was the man that had your heart
from that day forth i knew that nothing would
evee come and tear us apart

so then people try to warn me about you
said that i should never trust you
but so stupid me i didn't listen then
i let myself go fall in love with you

(what happened to us)
you were supposed to be my future
but do i really have to take it right back
(are you really in love)
or was i just a game to prove to yourself
you could get a man

you're more beautiful than anything in this world
more precious than the rarest diamond or pearl
and even though we didn't work out together
you're still my sunset-set-set-set
and i know that you and i are two worlds apart
but you'll always be the one to have my heart
i'm gonna love you for now and forever
cause you're my sunset-set-set-set-set

your innocent smile used to drive me wild
even though you ain't innocent at all
and now i feel so stupid cause i'm the only man
that ever loved you even with all your flaws

even your best friend questioned why
i still wanted to be with you after knowing your past
but she didn't understand in knowing your past
was why i thought we could past

(what happened to us)
we had something special but
was i not good enough for youet
(are you really in love)
catch some flowers fly because without even trying
i still ended up hurting you and i'm sorry

you're more beautiful than anything in this world
more precious than the rarest diamond or pearl
and even though we didn't work out together
you're still my sunset-set-set-set
and i know that you and i are two worlds apart
but you'll always be the one to have my heart
i'm gonna love you for now and forever
cause you're my sunset-set-set-set-set

maybe one day we'll end up talking again
maybe one day we'll go back to being just friends
promise to love you baby till my life ends
cause you're my sunset-set-set-set-set

no matter what happened between me and you
i'll always be the man that you could run to




i loved you then i love you now and forever
cause you're my sunset-set-set-set-set-set
