"WTSGD" lyrics

CLAY & Alessia Cara Lyrics

"WTSGD"

I've been fighting
Open the curtains every morning
Been letting the light in
I've decided that I'm worth it
This time
This life
I'm trying

I, I been good I been good I been good
I swear it's true, swear it's true
But I
Everything that I touch turns to the darkest blue, blue

Oh, when the night comes
All of it fades with every step I thought I was taking
I know when the night comes, I gotta face it
When the sun goes down
Oh, when the night comes
All of it fades with every step I thought I was taking
I know when the night comes, I gotta face it
When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)
When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)
When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)
When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)

I been lying
Been hiding from myself
Stuck in this constant state of emptiness
It's in my head
Feel it in my chest
It's getting the best of me, oh

I, I been good, I been good, I been good
I swear it's true
I swear it's true
But everything that I touch turns to the darkest blue
Oh, no-no-no-no

Oh, when the night comes
All of it fades with every step I thought I was taking
I know when the night comes, I gotta face it
When the sun goes down
Oh, when the night comes
All of it fades with every step I thought I was taking
I know when the night comes, I gotta face it
When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)
When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)
When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)
When the sun goes down
(When the sun goes down)

No matter how dark it gets
Just as the sun does set, it too must rise


Title "WTSGD" stands for "when the sun goes down". Clay told about the main inspiration behind the song, "We were both in quarantine, grappling with a new normal. Feelings of isolation, loneliness, and struggles with mental health that we both had pre-pandemic were right on the surface given the state of the world. We wanted to give a truly honest depiction of what we were feeling like right then and there. The nighttime being the hardest to face."
