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

Oh, I would rather shine in your eyes

Hold me up as I come down
Headfirst for the ground
Running right by my side
Till the end

I'd rather shine
I would rather shine in your eyes
I'd 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'd rather shine
I would rather shine
I would rather shine in your eyes

I'd rather shine
I'd rather shine
I would rather shine in your eyes
