It was you and me
Watching the setting sun
And at that moment
I knew exactly what you meant to me
Every phone call, Every love song
Every lost breath and every little flower
Every look, Every instant
I knew you were for me
The nervous glances and stupid words
The awkward silences and butterflies
It was all worth it for you
Because of that moment
Those very minutes when
I knew exactly what I meant to you
And it was at that point
When nothing else mattered because
It was you and me
Living in a false reality
Breathing in the brilliant colors of the dying sun
Wishing we could stay that way forever
But the colorful light was fading away
And so were my days with you
So once the night drowned the sky
The darkness settled into my heart
Cause you were gone
So now I sit here
Realizing that the sun always has to set
So now I sit here
Wishing I would've seen the sunrise
But now I never will
