SUN GOES DOWN Lyrics

SUN GOES DOWN - Lil Nas X

...

[Chorus]

I wanna run away

Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life

Send me a gun and I'll see the sun

I'd rather run away

Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life

Send me a gun and I'll see the sun

[Post-Chorus]

You need an instant ease

From the life where you got plenty

Of every hurt and heartbreak

You just take it all to the face

I know that you want to cry

But it's much more to life than dyin'

Over your past mistakes

And people who threw dirt on your name

[Verse]

Since ten, I've been feelin' lonely

Had friends but they was pickin' on me

Always thinkin', "Why my lips so big?"

Was I too dark? Can they sense my fears?

These gay thoughts would always haunt me

I prayed God would take it from me

It's hard for you when you're fightin'

And nobody knows it when you're silent

I'd be by the phone

Stanning Nicki mornin' into dawn

Only place I felt like I belonged

Strangers make you feel so loved, you know?

And I'm happy by the way

That I made that jump, that leap of faith

I'm happy that it all worked out for me

I'ma make my fans so proud of me (Oh)

[Chorus]

I wanna run away

Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life

Send me a gun and I'll see the sun

I'd rather run away

Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life

Send me a gun and I'll see the sun

[Post-Chorus]

You need an instant ease

From the life where you got plenty

Of every hurt and heartbreak

You just take it all to the face

I know that you want to cry

But it's much more to life than dying

Over your past mistakes

And people who threw dirt on your name

[Outro]

Ha-ah, ha-ah, no-ah
