Shine Away

Lyrics

What happened to the girl who never noticed her reflection? What happened to the girl who never noticed any rain? I always think I see you in the darkness of the city Slowly you pass by me and I try to make you hear me I say everything is changing I can't seem to change your mind (I can't seem to change your mind) So now this is the girl Who's mad at what is missing So now this is the girl Who sings herself to sleep And somehow thinks she'll find him If she looks in all the corners Somehow thinks he'll come back if she wishes very hard Everyonе is gone and I can't seem to leave alonе (I can't seem to leave alone) [Chorus] You gotta let him shine away You gotta let him shine gently away from you You cannot hold the star, his fire will fight your grip Never look too hard, his brightness will blind you You gotta let him shine away What happened to this softest bed I always used to lie in Like clouds along the summer wind Dreamed that I was flying I thought that afternoon that I could lie like that forever I always took for granted that we'd always be together There's a voice inside me He talks to me like you would do (Talks to me like you would do) [Chorus] It says you gotta let him shine away You gotta let him shine gently away from you You cannot hold the star, his fire will fight your grip Never look too hard, his brightness will blind you You gotta let him shine away [Bridge] Calling, I'm always calling out to you Falling, falling for you hot and blue The sun is on your string, let him shine away from you Everything is changing I can't seem to change 'em all So now this is the new, the old's been shed like teardrops So now this is the change, we all weather alone Just when we believe that things are better than they have been A change of mind occurs and we are left to start again Tomorrow's here, today I hear all of the shadows say (I hear all of the shadows say) [Chorus] You gotta let him shine away You gotta let him shine gently away from you You cannot hold the star, his fire will fight your grip Never look too hard, his brightness will blind you You gotta let him shine away You gotta let him shine away You gotta let him shine gently away from you You cannot hold the star, his fire will fight your grip Never look too hard, his brightness will blind you You gotta let him shine away [Outro] Oh, there are those And they live within the soul
