William Downey - You Were the Sun Lyrics

You were the sun, now you glow like the moon
You said exactly what you thought you wanted me to do
I don't blame you, but it'll never be the same
I won't fool you, 'cause I'm the fool you tried to save

Your dress swayed gently in the wind
Now it's torn straight through
You took tonic with your gin
Now we're left with straight booze
I could see your love grow thin
Leaving me with this bruise
Now you lift your chin
I'm becoming old news

Daydreams drifting through my mind
Seeing the same eyes a couple o' thousand o' times
Visions that I wish would turn into some kind of truth
Wishing for a time when I can say that I'd spent it with you

But I lost you just in time
Before we may have crossed the line
And if we crossed it, no one noticed
So I think we'll be just fine
We both misread the signs
That were laid before our eyes
But with luck our lives will cross
To pick it up another time

You were the sun, now you glow like the moon
You said exactly what you thought you wanted me to do
I won't blame you, but it'll never be the same
I won't fool you, 'cause I'm the fool you tried to save

And this is how you hurt me
Love me and then you leave me
And this is how you desert me
Alone on a cold road leading to nowhere but you

Tried to win something
You only hoped to lose
Like blowin' away money
You never would've used
I'm the book you'd rather skim
Than gently pick through
But you picked through my skin
Turned the lie to a truth

You were the sun, now you glow like the moon
You said exactly what you thought you wanted me to do
I won't blame you, but it'll never be the same
I won't fool you, 'cause I'm the fool you tried to save
