Lyrics
It’s true you shine so bright I’m blinded
so go off and make all your glorious debuts
But don’t sing to me anymore
Don’t sing to me anymore
Listen to that voice sparkle through the crowd
sharp colors and chords, they can’t get their fill
You were never open enough to see anyone clearly
least of all me - I have my own way to get through
You said you’d prefer to spend your time on happy people
Like my pain was just something I was too weak to let go
Your smile was so bright I wanted to believe you
But my life isn’t rainbows it’s stunning shades of grey
You were never open enough to see anyone clearly
least of all me - I have my own way to get through
I know you’re blind, stumbling, like us all
So don’t raise yourself higher than me - I’m hurt, but I haven’t failed anything
You were never open enough to see anyone clearly
least of all me - I have my own way
And you were never open enough to see anyone clearly
and you can’t hold your power over me
It’s true, you shone so bright, I was blinded
