Daylight Lyrics by Best Ex

With a Smile

2023

[Verse 1]
From where I’m standing
The skyline, it looks big enough
To hide all of the bodies
Of the dreams it’s crushed

And I am not like you; I get reckless
I get tired, and I can’t help it
I always walk home alone with my shoes in my hands
Thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing looks as pretty in the daylight
When the teeth of this city
Spit the sun into the sky
Nothing looks as pretty in the daylight
When you wake up on your own
And you’re convinced you’re gonna die

[Chorus]
Would you still love me, love me in the daylight
Will you still love me, lovе me on the downside
In thе daylight

[Verse 2]
This apartment, oh it leaks when it rains
I pace around, and I push you away
But each time you keep on knocking at my door

So, I'll forget the broken glass in the street
The way it’s sharp, and it can cut my feet
Tonight it looks like diamonds
I walk home with my shoes in my hands
Thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing looks as pretty in the daylight
When the teeth of this city
Spit the sun into the sky
Nothing looks as pretty in the daylight
When you wake up on your own
And you’re convinced you’re gonna die

[Chorus]
Would you still love me, love me in the daylight
Will you still love me, love me on the downside
In the daylight

[Bridge]
Put your flag in the dirt
Like you were here first
Took every inch of my soul
Like it was entirely yours
From the edge of my desk
To your living room floor
The day that you left
My country went back to war

[Chorus]
Would you still love me, love me in the daylight
Will you still love me, love me on the downside
In the daylight
