Why Can’t I Let the Sun Set? Lyrics by Odette

Herald

2021

[Verse 1]
I have learned to see me in the mirror
I have tried my hardest to forgive
I have watched the moon shimmer on the water
I have done my best to not dive in
[Chorus]
Why can't I let the sun set?
Why can’t I let the sun set?
It's easy to just forget
Why can't I just forget?
[Verse 2]
This lingering presence haunts me
These hands, they reach right out
On foot and under lamp lights
I wander through these streets
I walk around and around
And in these violent embers
Of what my words once were
I still see fragments of your eye
Catching the gleam of the night
Like fire before it can burn
[Chorus]
Oh, why can’t I let the sun set?
Why can't I let the sun set?
It's easy to just forget
Why can't I just forget?
Why can't I let the sun set?
Why can't I let the sun set?
It's easy to just forget
Why can't I just forget?
Why can’t I let the sun set?
Set
[Outro]
Why can’t I let the sun set?
Why can't I let the sun set?
It’s easy to just forget
Why can't I just forget?
