Shine

(album: The Things We Can't Stop - 2019)

Summer's locked in her room
Praying bruises will fade away
With her headphones on
Everything's A-okay

They don't know how she feels
A beat-up left out, a weirdo
People hold you down
Never let you go

Every scar she has today
From the ones she loved

I wanna see you shine
I wanna see you go for the win
I wanna see you move
I wanna see you love your life again
For you

Everyone played along
The sublime cool kids turned her away
She can't cry anymore
Pulled her hoodie to hide her face

They don't know how she feels
A beat-up left out, a weirdo
Then they hold her down
Never let her go

It's a monster that they made
That no one could love

I wanna see you shine
I wanna see you go for the win
I wanna see you move
I wanna see you love your life again
I wanna see you shine
I wanna see you go for the win
I wanna see you move
I wanna see you love your life again

In her note she needed love
And a place to hide away
The world can't bring her down
From the moment that she rose
When she threw her pills away
This world can't hold her down, yeah

I wanna see you shine
I wanna see you go for the win
I wanna see you move
I wanna see you love your life again
'Cause I wanna see you shine
I wanna see you go for the win
I wanna see you move
I wanna see you love your life again
For you
For you
For you
For you
