Lyrics
Shiny Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You don't make any sense to me (How)
'Cause you choose to focus on shiny things (How)
I keep tryin' for the two of us
But you left it dry, came to ruin us
You choose to focus on shiny things
My head's been spinnin' on since the fall (How)
Convinced myself I didn't just lose it all (How)
But I kept fightin' for the two of us
You dropped that ball, now it ruined us
Well, you choose to focus on shiny things
I've been thinkin' for a long while
What am I with you?
Yeah, what am I with you?
I've been hurtin'
Did I deserve this?
I don't think I do
No, I don't think I do
