  • 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 Writer/s: Daniel Tichenor, Donald Bradley Shultz, Jared Lloyd Champion, Matthan Megrew Minster, Matthew Ray Shultz, Nicholas Bockrath
