Gilbert Lyrics by Avery Sloane

Tired of This Setting Sun

2023

[Verse 1]
I tried to play it cool
And stop thinking I'm the issue
Some problems are too big to try and find an answer to
I've exercised my rights
I've been kicking my teeth in
Some things are better said than done so say you'll do it
Walk home from the show
I kept on driving past you
Some things are undefined this time I'll try to find an answer to

[Chorus]
Realizing everything I ever wanted was never real
Playing dress up with emotions that I'll never get to feel
I know in time that I might

[Verse 2]
I tried to makе a plan
I've been writing all my thoughts down
Playing hard to get won't stop what's up in my head
Disappointmеnt gets me down
Here's to joining all the dropouts
I'm kinda late to leave I'll be waiting at the door for you
Tricking all my friends
They say they don't believe me
If only they could see right through the girl I try to be by

[Chorus]
Realizing everything I ever wanted was never real
Playing dress up with emotions that I'll never get to feel
Criticizing how my fingers move when I'm playing songs for you
It's funny how those songs have changed to be about you
I knew in time that they might
