Lyrics:

[English]

Sunshine

There ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night

(But there's just something about)

This dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy

Licking your fingers like you're done

And you've decided there is so much more than me (oh-oh-oh)

And baby, honestly it's harder breathing next to you, I shake

I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me

Hold my heart, it's beating for you anyway

What if I can't forget you? (Oh)

I'll burn your name into my throat

I'll be the fire that'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces?

None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole

Nobody prays for the heartless (no!)

Nobody gives another penny for the selfish

(You're learning how to taste what you kill now)

Don't mind me, I'm just reaching for your necklace

Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas

What if I can't forget you? (Oh)

I'll burn your name into my throat

I'll be the fire that'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces?

None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole

Just give her back to me

You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need

So baby, what if I can't forget you? (What if I can't forget you?)

Collide invisible lips, like a shadow on the wall

And just throw, oh no

You can't just throw me away

...

(Oh)

So, what if I can't forget you?

I'll burn your name into my throat

I'll be the fire that'll catch you

And what's so good about picking up the pieces?

What if I don't even want to?

Oh

Oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh

Oh, oh

What if I can't forget you?

I'll burn your name into my throat

I'll be the fire that'll catch you

What's so good about picking up the pieces?

None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole

Just give her back to me

You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need

So, baby, what if I can't forget you? (What if I can't forget you?)

I'd better learn to live alone

(What's so good about picking up the pieces?)

(What's so good about, what's so good about...)

(What's so good about picking up the pieces?)
