From the Album: Debris (SBS Records)
Sunburn
Michelle Malone (Strange Bird Songs/ASCAP)
Do you feel like no one else will ever love you again
And you think you’ll be alone forever
And you tried your best for years but you just couldn’t make it work
Now you feel just like a great big failure
So you took a chance It didn’t turn out like you planned When you’re walking in the sunshine You might get sunburned - Sunburn, Sunburn Do you feel like you’ve given everything you had to give
Just like that you’re world has lost it’s brilliance
Your bubble wasn’t burst, no, it just drifted away from view
And slowly you lost all your resilience
So you took a chance It didn’t turn out like you planned When you’re walking in the sunshine You might get sunburned - Sunburn, Sunburn There’s a bowling ball inside your throat
That weights all your words down
It feels like you’re all alone
The only person left here in this town
People talk and judge behind your back as if you’re made of stone
It’s not like you’re not hurting
It’s temporary, everything, your pain and dreams and plans
There’s no tourniquet to stop the changes - Sunburn, Sunburn
