Sunshine (Acoustic) Lyrics

I just don't have the room to grow

With you standing in my window

You used to be my sunshine, baby!

But now you're all burned out!

And I'm wilting now

Your shadow stretches over me

Blocking out everything I need

I thought you'd help me bloom and thrive

But you're the reason I can't survive

I need the space to breathe, to spread my leaves

But you smother me like creeping weeds

I can't live in the shade that you cast

I'll wither here unless I leave you in the past

My petals fall, oh, one by one

Dying slow with the lack of sun

I hoped our garden could survive

But I can't keep this love alive

I reached for you to pull me through

But you've taken more than you ever grew

This window used to be my home

Now it's a cage, and I'm here alone

You used to be my sunshine baby!

But now you're all burned out!

I need the space to breathe, to spread my leaves

But you smother me like creeping weeds

I can't live in the shade that you cast

I'll wither here unless I leave you in the past

You were the rain, the soil, the seed

But love can't grow when it's forced to bleed

Now I'm branching out, breaking free

I'll make my way where light will reach me

This garden's better off without you

(You used to be my sunshine, baby)

You always took more than you grew

(But, now you're all burned out)

I need the space to breathe, to spread my leaves

But you smother me like creeping weeds

I can't live in the shade that you cast

I'll wither here unless I leave you in the past
