Lyrics
Mm
I should have been strong, held the world on my back
I should have been honest, I fell off track
Should have been bold when the nights got dark
I should have been tough when it all fell apart
When I was feeling sorry, head against the wall (oh)
Everything I wanted, everything I lost
Sometimes the things we lose, they're never coming home (oh)
I was on the outside, freezing in the cold (oh)
Fighting off my demons, angry at the world
Even the sweats and shakes, they never keep me warm (oh)
'Cause even when the roads all seem so right
Hey, even I played the fool so many times (hey)
Even when the stars don't seem so bright
Oh, baby, play it cool
You're gonna shine (mm)
You could have been cold, the stare in your eyes
You could have been cruel and severed our ties
I send these broken wings, I'll never fly
I send these scars I hide, I'll never die
And that was when an angel opened up the door (oh)
Picked up all the pieces, held me up tall
Beautiful loving eyes, she held me as she said (oh)
She told me that I'm on it, told me that I'm whole (oh)
Told me there's a power deep inside my soul
Told me the war inside, I need to let it lie
'Cause even when the roads all seem so right (na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
Hey, even I played the fool (na-na-na-na-na-na)
So many times (na-na-na-na-na-na, hey)
Even when the stars don't seem so bright (na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
Oh, baby, play it cool (na-na-na-na-na-na)
You're gonna shine
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter, oh
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter (ah), oh
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter (ah), oh
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter (ah, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter (ah, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter (ah, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter (ah, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We're gonna shine tonight much brighter (ah, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Even when the roads all seem so right (na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
Hey, even I played the fool (na-na-na-na-na-na)
So many times (na-na-na-na-na-na, hey)
Even when the stars don't seem so bright (na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
Baby, play it cool (na-na-na-na-na-na), oh
You're gonna shine
Mm
Mm
Mm (hey)
