When I saw the sun conquer the sky
My tired eyes widened with bliss
The brightness pierced through my heart
But I still yearned for your kiss

When I looked at the time
I felt my body drained of life
But when you came into my mind
It took out all of my strife

Then I remembered last night
When you told me you would return
All it did was make me realize
That promises do get burned

So I went down and came back
To my old life without you
And did everything I thought of
To get me out of the blue

I went my own way the whole day
Until the sun was not seen in the sky
But soon emptiness filled my heart
And my eyes were no longer dry

I did try to set myself free
From wanting you by my side
But I could not help but feel
The loneliness I can never hide

So I went back to the sad place
Broken, I could not deny
I let go of everything last night
Knowing your words meant goodbye

The sun rose without you around
And it set with me not seeing your shadow
Now I am here again on the rooftop
With my soul cold and my heart hollow
