I forget dreams and lies

I try and I try

Think you should know

Just what I like

You should by now, somehow, 

Be living without

I would rather shine in your eyes

Hold me up, I'm coming down

Headfirst for the ground

Running right by my side, 

Till the end

I would rather shine

I would rather shine in your eyes

I would rather shine

I would rather shine in your eyes

As you walk with me on this one way track

All that you give, I won't give back

So much of myself I hide from me

I want to be all that you say you see in me

I would rather shine

I would rather shine

I would rather shine in your eyes

I would rather shine

I would rather shine

I would rather shine in your eyes
