Sunny Days
Fading Sunshine: A Tale of Lost Love by Kennedy Ryon
Lyrics
Sunny days, sunny days don't live here no more
Sunny days, positive and joyful times, are no longer present in the speaker's life.
Lie awake, until you walk through the door
The speaker stays awake until someone, likely a significant person, returns home.
Should I stay, give you a year, year or more
The speaker contemplates whether to stay in the current situation for a year or more.
What a waste, trying to ask you for more
Expressing dissatisfaction with efforts to ask for more from someone.
Why does this pain remain inside of me
The speaker questions why emotional pain persists within them.
Most nights I had to cry myself to sleep
The speaker recalls nights of emotional distress, having to cry themselves to sleep.
You took my mind and stole my energy
The person has had a negative impact on the speaker's mental state and vitality.
Mmm what a lovely day to feel the rain
A contrasting observation of rain on what should be a lovely day.
Oh sunny days don't live here no more
Reiteration that sunny days, symbolizing happiness, are absent.
You know I tried and tried, I gave you all my time, and now I'm short
The speaker gave significant time and effort but feels shortchanged.
Oh come what May when I reach the shore
An expression of anticipation for a future event in May, possibly a turning point.
I'll swallow all the tide, I'd give you all my pride and then more
The speaker is willing to endure challenges and sacrifice pride for the relationship.
No time to waste, no time for you to give me more
Emphasis on the urgency, no time to waste in seeking more from the relationship.
My mistake, trying to ask you for more
Recognizing a mistake in expecting more from the person.
This is my day, love don't live here no more
Declaring that love is no longer present in the speaker's day-to-day life.
Here I wade, down to the ocean floor
The speaker wades, possibly metaphorically sinking, down to the ocean floor.
That morning you said you grew tired of me
Recollection of a morning when the person expressed tiredness of the speaker.
That evening you were crying on your knees
Recollection of an evening when the person cried, possibly regretting their actions.
Somehow I found the strength inside of me
Discovering inner strength to cope with the challenges presented by the person.
Mmm what a lovely day, to feel the rain
Repeating the contrasting observation of rain on what seems like a lovely day.
Oh sunny days don't live here no more
Reiteration that sunny days, symbolizing happiness, are absent.
You know I tried and tried, I gave you all my time, and now I'm short
Expressing the effort invested, giving time, and the feeling of falling short.
Oh come what May when I reach the shore
Anticipation for a future event in May, potentially a significant moment.
I'll swallow all the tide, I'd give you all my pride and then more
Willingness to endure challenges, swallow the tide, and sacrifice pride for the relationship.
Humming I thought I could survive him
The speaker thought they could survive a certain situation or person, but now they are unsure.
Now I'm unsure
Expressing uncertainty and doubt about surviving a particular experience or relationship.
