Shine 4 U

there's a town by the sea
about as distant as a memory
I used to breathe the salty air
face the morning down without a care

so why, tell me why
should I shine, shine, shine for you?

broken glass empty heart
feeling like I'm gonna fall apart
still I dream in flowing lines
and watch the night fill up with fireflies

so why, tell me why
should I shine, shine, shine for you?

I try to compromise
but it all flows back to you
to you

I should've known
hung up the phone
but when I tried to leave
you tried to bleed me dry
through moonshot eyes
I see a different path in front of me

so why, tell me why
should I shine, shine, shine for you?
you
