In the Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody said that it wasn’t love
I was dumb
I was getting high on your sugar rush
For too long
You told me that we could have it all
Now you’re postin' pictures on your wall
Of you and her together, what the hell?
We were in heaven then we fell
I believed you, said I’d never leave you
I-

[Chorus]
I thought that you loved me, I was wrong
You took all my money and you went off on the run
Livin' with my best friend in the sun, in the sun
You told me that we could have it all
Now you’re postin' pictures on your wall
Of you and her together, havin' fun, havin' fun

[Verse 2]
Everybody said: “Careful of that guy”
Baby couldn’t stop, it was suicide
Headed for a cliff, eyes open wide
You were feignin' love by holdin' tight
But I need you, don’t want to, but need to
I-
[Chorus]
I thought that you loved me, I was wrong
You took all my money and you went off on the run
Livin' with my best friend in the sun, in the sun
You told me that we could have it all
Now you’re postin' pictures on your wall
Of you and her together, havin' fun, havin' fun

[Bridge]
You been messin' around with my beating heart
You should be ashamed
Boy, you never loved me from the start
Such a wicked game
I told you I needed somebody
I never used you for love or for money, boy
I feel like I can’t trust nobody
Beat on my heart and you left it all bloody, now

[Chorus]
I thought that you loved me, I was wrong
You took all my money and you went off on the run
Livin' with my best friend in the sun, in the sun
You told me that we could have it all
Now you’re postin' pictures on your wall
Of you and her together, havin' fun, havin' fun

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
