Lyrics

Shine

Everyday

I keep on lying to you

I just don't know what to do but I do

So leave me alone

I just wanna stay here at home

So far away from whatever

Some might say or some might do

Just as I thought

I've found someone that needs me

Someone that needs me so much

And just as before

It's that someone who needs me

Someone I needed so much

But it's you

Spinning me out of control

Hurting me deep in my soul

Or so I'm told

I just wanna stop

'Cos nothing's as bad as it seems and

I can't be bothered so stay a while and tell me what it mean's

Just as I thought

I'd found someone that needs me

Someone that needs me so much

And just as before it's that someone who needs me

Someone I needed so much

Now I'll tell you the truth

'Bout what I should do

Why I can't stand you no more

There's a time and a place

And my life's such a waste and

Everything had to go wrong

It's just what I needed

Just as I thought

I'd found someone that needs me

Someone that needs me so much

And just as before it's that someone who needs me

Someone I needed so much
