Ariana Grande - eternal sunshine Lyrics
I
I don't care what people say
We both know I couldn't change you
I guess you could say the same
Can't rearrange truth
I've never seen someone lie like you do
So much, even you start to think it's true
Ooh
Get me outta this loop, yeah
Yeah
So now we play our separate scenes
Now, now she's in my bed, laying on your chest
Now I'm in my head
Wondering how it ends
I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feeling sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like atari
Now it's like I'm looking in the mirror
Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy, and he's on my side
You're just my eternal sunshine
Sunshine
So I try to wipe my mind
Just so I feel less insane
Rather feel painless
I'd rather forget than know
Know for sure
What we could've fought through behind this door
Hmm-mmm
So I close it and move, yeah
Yeah
So now we play our separate scenes
Now, now he's in your bed, laying on my chest
Now I'm in my head
Wondering how it ends, ends, ends
I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feeling sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like atari
Now it's like I'm looking in the mirror
Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy, and he's on my side
You're just my eternal sunshine
Sunshine
Won't break
Can't shake
This fate

I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feeling sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like atari
Now it's like I'm looking in the mirror
Hope you feel alright when you're in her
I found a good boy, and he's on my side
You're just my eternal sunshine
Sunshine

Won't break
Can't shake
This fate
