Lyrics
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.
You say… that you never had a mum and nobody needs you
So cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by just to deceive you
By your time, by your time
You're getting old
And the longer you take, the slower your pain will grow
It will grow, it will grow
You can close you eyes
And hope that when you open them you've got a brand new life
Friend you'll find, you can't hide
You can give your life or you can lose your soul
You can bang your head or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever, but you can try
Look around you…
Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna shine
Grow up and make the best of what you've got
Of what you've got
The days are going by and you're sittin' on your arse
And you're wondering why
You say that you've never had a mum and nobody needs you
So cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by just to deceive you
By your time, by your time
You're getting old
And the longer you take the slower your pain will grow
It'll grow, it'll grow
You can close you eyes
And hope that when you open them you've got a brand new life
