Everything Under The Sun Lyrics by Waylon Wyatt
Well, this bed still has room for two
And in my head I always thought it’d be you
But I guess what you said was all a lie
‘Cause here I am laying alone all night
And this house don’t feel like home no more
Ever since you left and walked out that door
And I know no matter what I do
Won’t be hearing that door open soon
And I know I’ll always regret the day
That I told you it’d be easier for you to walk away
Than for me to change
When I told you you was the one
I meant everything under the sun
Everything and anything as well
You’ll never know the way I felt
‘Cause all it is and all it ever was
How I’m hung up on the thought of us
Guess maybe next time around
I’ll wait ’til the sun goes down
Well, my heart has been broke before
And after you I don’t think it will much more
And in my life I’ve never cried more tears
Than tonight wishing you was here
And I know I’ll always remember the night
You let me hold you and I was a fool for not
Handling your heart right and breaking it in two ’cause
When I told you you was the one
I meant everything under the sun
Everything and anything as well
You’ll never know the way I felt
‘Cause all it is and all it ever was
How I’m hung up on the thought of us
Guess maybe next time around
I’ll wait ’til the sun goes down
When I told you you was the one
I meant everything under the sun
Everything and anything as well
You’ll never know the way I felt
‘Cause all it is and all it ever was
How I’m hung up on the thought of us
Guess maybe next time around
I’ll wait ’til the sun goes down
