Lyrics

You cut off your toes so you might walk a little more slowly
You 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, then 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
You're sitting there wondering why you don't shine
You stayed home all night just hoping somebody might miss you
You stayed by the phone while nobody called
Then you put on a smile so you couldn't get any sadder
You 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
You're sitting there wondering why you don't shine
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
Makes sense to you
You waited your whole life to stand up and count yourself in
You never feel half as good or as bad as you know you should
Then you put yourself down on the floor so you wouldn't be a bother
You put yourself down on the floor, 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
You're sitting there wondering why you don't shine
Why don't you shine?
No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't always
Always get better
But you don't, don't, don't, don't always
Want what you get
And you pull it down and you shove it under the rug
And you find out you're just a mouse, doll, you're stressed up
You go out and find yourself a wave
And you ride, ride, ride, ride, ride it all the way
Back of your little head
And you know you could shine
Why don't I shine?
And I wake up every morning just hoping to feel
Like I shine
And please let me shine
