Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me Lyrics

I can't light no more
Of your darkness
All my pictures seem to
Fade to black and white
I'm growin' tired, and
Time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save
Myself from falling
I took a chance and
Changed your way of life
But you misread my
Meanin' when I met you
Closed the door and
Left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment
Of your life to wander free
But losin' everything is like
The sun goin' down on me
I can't find, oh
The right romantic line
But see me once and
See the way I feel
Don't discard me just
Because you think
I mean you harm
But these cuts I have
Oh, they need love to
Help them heal
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of
Your life to wander free
But losin' everything is like
The sun goin' down on me
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself
It's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of
Your life to wander free, yeah
But losin' everything is
Like the sun goin' down on me
