Blue shadows on the sun
Why do all my dreams feel so
So worthless in these hands?
I only want to shine
Bright enough to be
Be remembered tomorrow

And I feel this
Broken heart cry out again for mercy
Here in all of this confusion
I wish that I could teach my soul
How to smile

The skies are slow today
Funny how my time slips away
Away and so empty now
It's easier to hide
My scars behind a veil of nothing
Deep inside

And I, oh I
Wonder how I'll ever find a light
To shine in all of this confusion
Oh I wish I knew where I went wrong
And lost my way

I only want to shine
Alive inside myself
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within
I only want to shine
Brighter than this grey world
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within

When all my days seem torn
Remind myself that I am in my hands
And only I can fix me now

I only want to shine
Alive inside myself
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within
I only want to shine
Brighter than this grey world
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within

I only want to shine
I only want to shine
I only want to shine
