Sun went down, sun went down, over pompeii

On both sides the vow was broken

Oh my my, I'm the one

Tryin' to hide this damage done

One day, all our secrets will be spoken.

As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen

Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? yeah...

Underneath this bed of ashes still withholding everything

Like we were never close.

Don't you worry baby

No sense tryin' to change it

I'ma strike these matches

Never had control

I'm ready to let go no

Was I foolin' myself

I'ma spread these ashes

Never had control

I'm ready, I'm ready

I'm ready to let go.

Sun went down, sun went down, over pompeii

On holy ground our vows were broken

We met up we broke bread

I was blue, your dress was red, ain't it strange?

We both knew this day was comin'.

As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen

Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? yeah

Underneath this bed of ashes still withholding everything

Like we were never close.

Don't you worry baby

No sense tryin' to change it

I'ma strike these matches

Never had control

I'm ready to let go no

Was I foolin' myself

I'ma spread these ashes

Never had control

I'm ready, I'm ready

I'm ready to let go.

Don't you worry baby

No sense tryin' to change it

I'ma strike these matches

Never had control

I'm ready to let go no

Was I foolin' myself

I'ma spread these ashes

Never had control

I'm ready, I'm ready

I'm ready to let go.
