You'd see you shine, you shine But if only you could see yourself in my eyes I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go

And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a moment That I could just understand The meaning of the word you see 'Cause I've been scrawling it forever But it never makes sense to me at all But with all my education I can't

I'll make my own mistakes Even though I never learn I'm running from myself If only you could see behind my eyes Gather round my friends I need a match and only one match I think it's time I make my own way I'm turning my back on this city and I'm not

You're just sorry for yourself And though you may seem fine alone Don't tell me you're sorry If you could make them proud You could leave the world and feel like you've Tell them that it's only temporary I'm trying my best to smile But that's never
