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
