Shine

Cut off your toes so you might walk little more slowly Cut out your tongue so you couldn't say anything wrong You held yourself up to the light so you might be forgiven You held yourself up to the light and you just disappeared And you've got a heart And you've got an open window that you can't get through There's light coming in Sitting there wondering why you don't shine You stayed up all night just hoping somebody might miss you Stayed by the phone while nobody called Then you put on a smile so you couldn't get any sadder Put on a smile now you're holding a grudge And you've got a heart And you've got an open window that you can't get through There's light coming in Sitting there wondering why you don't shine And why don't you shine? Maybe if you put a little faith in your own voice You might hear something That makes sense to you That makes sense to you You've waited your whole life to stand up and count yourself in But you never feel half as good or as bad as you know you should And you put yourself down on the floor so you wouldn't be a bother You put yourself down on the floor and you just turned to wood And you've got a heart And you've got an open window that you can't get through There's light coming in Sitting there wondering why you don't shine And why don't you shine? No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't know is I was getting better But you don't, don't, don't, don't always want what you get And you put it down and you shove it under the rug And you find out you're [Incomprehensible] Go out and find yourself and you're gliding all the way Like I'm your little head and you know you just shine Why don't I shine? And I wakeup every morning just hoping to feel Like I shine and please let me shine
