[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Pining for the touch, the touch of a hand
The softness of a long, long awaited kiss
Longing for the warmth, the warmth of a hug
For the smallest glimmer, glimmer of hope
I know you can be better, better than this
So I bide my time, so I bite my tongue
Wanting the life, the life we share
Life we share in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
We shared an hour all alone
Greet the sun with me
[Chorus]
Greet the sun (the sun, the sun)
How did I get here? This isn't my place
I used to be stronger, pain written on my face
The daily struggle with thoughts of escape
And down will come baby, cradle and all
[Verse 2]
Stuck in this limbo and I'm losing my mind
I'm over your games and we've tried so hard
I know what I need and it's down below
I'm not even sure what I'm missing, but I know it's not this
I've gotta gather the courage to take back my home
Two or three storeys and some broken bones
If I'm being honest, I saw myself as a woman of the world
To travel abroad and break bread with bros
To be this young with an old soul's glow
I never pegged myself as the naive type
How did I get you so wrong?
[Pre-Chorus]
We shared an hour all alone
Greet the sun with me
[Refrain]
Down will come, down will come baby
Down will come, down will come baby
Down will come, down will come baby
Down will come, down will come baby
[Chorus]
Greet the sun (the sun, the sun, the sun)
I know I shouldn't be here, too weak to deny this fate
He thinks he can break me, he is truly mistaken
I will break out and remember who I was before us
And down will come baby, cradle and all
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Free from your clutches
I can finally reap
What this life will offer me
Apart from jealousy and fear
I want to know joy
And I'm not just talking about
A chick in daytime TV scenes
I threw away 5 awful years
And it's sick how good the outside feels
Left alone day in, day out
My guilt; the lifeforce to his clout
Yet I know one day
A time will come
When I know it's not my fault
[Pre-Chorus]
We shared an hour all alone
Greet the sun with me
[Chorus]
Greet the sun (the sun, the sun)
I'll no longer be here, only I can deny this fate
He thought he could break me and in truth he was right
But no matter how shaken, I will break from this cot
And down will come baby, cradle and all! (Cradle and all!)
[Outro]
