Sunrise Lyrics

I gotta hold on
as these days go by
I keep on falling
you walk away

I give you everything
that i have to give
Ive made my sacrifice
but you wont let me live
love is so green
in a beautiful kind o way
you got me wrapped around
you're prison ball and chain

I gotta hold on
as all these days go by
hold on baby yeah
'cause I'm falling
and you keep on walking away
and i cannot see the sunrise

you can never tell which youre gonna be
cause youre so obsessed with your personalities
love is so sick and you know god is love
you think you're something, something from above

I gotta hold on
as all these days go by
hold on baby yeah
'cause I'm falling
and you keep on walking away
and i cannot see the sunrise

I gotta hold on baby
as the days go by
I keep falling
and you keep on walking away
and i can't see the sunrise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song, its one of my favourites from the album i feel that he is saying that he is really in love with this girl but shes too stuck up too see that and wont ever realise how much she likes him. Although he is determined to show her. The sunrise bit means that he will never see the sunrise because he feels he will be chasing her forever, and the sunrise marks the end of the day or the end of something. It could also mean it in a romantic way, as the sunrise is a romantic activity, and that he feels that he will never experience that with her.
