Sunshine 00:18
There ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night 00:21
(But there's just something about) 00:26
This dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy 00:28
Licking your fingers like you're done 00:32
And you've decided there is so much more than me (oh-oh-oh) 00:35
And baby, honestly it's harder breathing next to you, I shake 00:40
I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me 00:46
Hold my heart, it's beating for you anyway 00:50
What if I can't forget you? (Oh) 00:54
I'll burn your name into my throat 00:58
I'll be the fire that'll catch you 01:00
What's so good about picking up the pieces? 01:03
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole 01:08
Nobody prays for the heartless (no!) 01:19
Nobody gives another penny for the selfish 01:23
(You're learning how to taste what you kill now) 01:27
Don't mind me, I'm just reaching for your necklace 01:30
Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas 01:35
What if I can't forget you? (Oh) 01:39
I'll burn your name into my throat 01:43
I'll be the fire that'll catch you 01:45
What's so good about picking up the pieces? 01:48
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole 01:53
Just give her back to me 01:58
You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need 02:01
So baby, what if I can't forget you? (What if I can't forget you?) 02:05
Collide invisible lips, like a shadow on the wall 02:10
And just throw, oh no 02:14
You can't just throw me away 02:20
02:28
(Oh) 02:48
So, what if I can't forget you? 02:49
I'll burn your name into my throat 02:53
I'll be the fire that'll catch you 02:55
And what's so good about picking up the pieces? 02:58
What if I don't even want to? 03:03
Oh 03:05
Oh, oh 03:05
Oh 03:05
Oh, oh, oh 03:05
Oh 03:05
Oh, oh 03:06
What if I can't forget you? 03:08
I'll burn your name into my throat 03:28
I'll be the fire that'll catch you 03:31

[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?)
