Katie Melua Downstairs to the Sun song lyrics

Can't say what came over me

I wasn't what I used to be

Hadn't seen how I lost control

And I always thought that I was strong

But one night, one situation,

One sign, one devastation

Chorus

I could have said: no to the walk

Listened instead of just talked

And I dreamed that I had screamed

I could have run, down the stairs to the sun

It's not what you did to me,

It's the fact that I didn't fight you back

And it seems I had lost my voice

The one that always made the right choice

'cause two nights, two situations,

Two signs, two devastations

Chorus

But now the cup is no longer cold

As the rain trickles down I feel a bold

And time is calling me to set myself free

Concession is the key and knowing what you don't see

Chorus
