I cannot let myself wither under the Sun, He keeps me warm. I mustn't shielf myself, Even if it kills me. I let His rays burn my flesh, Because that is how it's meant to be. I long for the Moon's attention, but She's just as scared as me. We don't see eye to eye, We never will. My heart longs for Her - But the Sun stands in my way. Still, Her presence sends a tingle through my body And around Her, I cannot think properly They say the Sun owns me - But you wouldn't understand, I know the Moon can love me better than any Sun can.

Wither under the Sun.
I cannot let myself wither under the Sun, He keeps me warm. I mustn't shielf myself, Even if it kills me. I let His rays burn my flesh, Because that is how it's meant to be. I long for the Moon's attention, but She's just as scared as me. We don't see eye to eye, We never will. My heart longs for Her - But the Sun stands in my way. Still, Her presence sends a tingle through my body And around Her, I cannot think properly They say the Sun owns me - But you wouldn't understand, I know the Moon can love me better than any Sun can.
