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
