Lyrics

Brighter

So this is how it goes Well, I, I would have never known And if it ends today Well, I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone

Now I think we're taking this too far Don't you know that it's not this hard? Well, it's not this hard But if you take what's yours and I take mine Must we go there? Please, not this time No, not this time

Well, this is not your fault But if I'm without you then I will feel so small And if you have to go Well, always know that you shine brighter than anyone does

Now I think we're taking this too far Don't you know that it's not this hard? Well, it's not this hard But if you take what's yours and I take mine Must we go there? Please, not this time No, not this time

If you run away now Will you come back around? And if you ran away I'd still wave goodbye watching you shine bright

Now I think we're taking this too far Don't you know that it's not this hard? Well, it's not this hard But if you take what's yours and I take mine Must we go there? Please, not this time No, not this time

(You shine bright) And I'll wave goodbye watching you shine bright (You shine bright) (You shine bright) And I'll wave goodbye tonight

Paramore on Dork

Hayley Williams has shared a new video for 'Glum', co-directed with Paramore’s Zac Farro

The tracks mark her first releases as a fully independent artist.

Hayley Williams joins Deftones to perform 'Minerva' at Nashville concert

The collaboration took place during the encore of Deftones' 20-song set.

Paramore have postponed this week's San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Salt Lake City shows

It's due to illness within the touring party.
