Jade Ashlyn Poet Lyric

Japanese Flight 123

Shizumanu Taiyo
Japanese Flight 123 

[Verse 1]
They say you are a sun that never set 
I thought the time would never come 
Remembering the unremembered, forever without beauty 
Now, I sit and wonder what it would be like 

[Pre-Chorus]
Do I just pretend it doesn’t matter?
I'll forever be waiting 
The day will never end 
Cleaning the wound of never seeing you
You belong to the sky 

[Chorus]
The pain of a never-setting sun 
The pain of a never-setting sun
The pain of a never-setting sun
A question unanswered 
Time unshared 
The reality that you are no more 

[Verse 2]
Every day, I can’t help but wonder and pray 
How can you mourn someone you’ve never met?
I can never look at darkness the same again 
My tears have forever stained a part of my soul 

[Pre-Chorus]
And the sky is dark and grey 
Even though the sun is bright and red 
Now, you are running in the sky
And I don’t know how to chase 
I’ve fallen behind 

[Chorus]
The pain of a never-setting sun 
The pain of a never-setting sun
The pain of a never-setting sun
A question unanswered 
Time unshared 
The reality that you are no more 
A never-setting sun
A never-setting sun
A lifetime forever unfinished 

[Post-Chorus]
My tears won’t fall anymore 
(You belong to the sky)
My tears won’t fall anymore
(You belong to the sky)

[Bridge]
How long can this go on
You were taken before my life could begin 
You have my heart, and you left 
All I’ve done is wonder and pray 
Fighting for a reality that will never come true 
The pain of an end (Time unshared)
Forever a question unanswered
A death to beauty everywhere 
When red and orange collide 
You have fallen 
Forever a part of the sky (Never-ending)
A flight away from what could have been (A question unanswered)
Why did it have to be you (Time unshared)
To wonder for eternity 

[Outro]
You’re a sun that never set 
A sun that never set 
I can’t see the light 
The pain of a never-setting sun
