We Used To Shine
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.
Honesty, really is the hardest thing
'Cause all these twisted truths you bring, won't let me in
Tell me how it ends
I long to be bold enough for bravery
'Cause this mess you made of me
Has gravity
Enough to hide the lie you kept so long
Of how you did me wrong
But I don't want this fight
Put your hands in mine
Hold me and close and move with me
Remember we used to shine
I don't want this fight
We'll set the world alight
Hold me and close and movе with me
With every bеat, remember how we used to shine
Look at me
I'm not somewhere out of reach
We're like two ships lost at sea
Its got to be
More to this than rivalry, I know
We're not made of stone
But I don't want this fight
So put your hands in mine
Hold me and close and move with me
Remember we used to shine
I don't want this fight
We'll set the world alight
Hold me and close and move with me
With every beat, remember how we used to shine
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Remember when, you stayed up
Remember when, you shoot me out
Do this all night, to cry out loud
Remember when our love was new
Remember what I said to you
You're all I want
Well, that's still true
But I don't want this fight
So put your hands in mine
Hold me and close and move with me
Remember we used to shine
But I don't want this fight
We'll set the world alight
Hold me and close and move with me
With every beat, remember how we used to shine, yeah
I don't want this fight
No, oh
Remember when our love was new
Remember what I said to you
You're all I want
Well, that's still true, yeah
I don't want this fight
