✨ The Way You Shine

[Verse 1] In the corner of an empty platform Swaying in the breath of the last train home Typing out “I’m fine, don’t worry” now Letting every word fade on my phone Living just to dodge a laughing gaze Pushes who I really am away Deep inside my chest a fragile voice Still is one I can’t let them hear today [Pre-Chorus] Hey If somehow this long night can finally break Grant me just one wish to make All the parts of me I left behind Please go and find [Chorus] After the rain, come get me Let the storm forget me Take this nameless aching pain Far from here tonight Light before dawn, please save me With your hands, ignite me Hold this world that’s falling down Pull me to your side Ah Ah Ah Ah Even if you never hear Ah Ah Ah Ah I’ll keep calling out [Verse 2] Kindness never felt quite strong enough Only strength alone still hurt too much Wanting just to laugh by someone’s side Even that small wish terrified my heart Every time I count what I have lost All tomorrows blur into the fog Still the beating echo in my chest Cries “you’re not done yet, you can carry on” [Pre-Chorus] Hey Underneath this sky where I stand alone Nights that cut me to the bone Had me reaching out to follow Your fading glow [Chorus] Turn to a star and break me Split this heart wide in me Free the tears I locked away Scatter them like light Light before dawn, please save me With your hands, ignite me Hold this world that’s falling down Pull me to your side Ah Ah Ah Ah Even if I start to fade Ah Ah Ah Ah I will still sing on [Bridge] If the words “I’m lonely” Could have left my lips back then Maybe every breath I take Would have hurt a little less Still there is one Feeling that keeps turning back to you again That I can’t discard [Final Chorus] Turn into night and hold me Wrap your sky around me Keep this heart that’s torn in shreds From drifting apart Burn into dawn and stain me Color all these tears in me Lead me to the place where I Can begin again Ah Ah Ah Ah Even if I break again Ah Ah Ah Ah I want to believe Ah Ah Ah Ah Till the night has fallen through Ah Ah Ah Ah I’ll run back to you
