We Used to Shine

Honesty

Really is the hardest thing

And all the twisted truth you bring

Won’t let me in

Tell me how it ends

I long to be

Bold enough for bravery

‘Cause this mess you made of me

Has gravity

Enough to hide the lie you kept so long

Of how you did me wrong.

But I don’t want this fight

Put your hands in mine

Hold me close and move with me

Remember how we used to shine.

I don’t want this fight

Set the words alight

Just hold me close and move with me

With every beat

Remember how

We used to shine

Look for me

I’m not somewhere out of reach

We’re not two ships lost at sea

There’s got to be

More to this than rivalry

I know

‘Cause we’re not made of stone

And I don’t want this fight

Put your hand in mine

Hold me close and move with me

Remember how

We used to shine

I don’t want this fight

Set the words alight

Just hold me close and move with me

With every beat

Remember how

We used to shine

Remember when you stayed ‘round?

Remember when you showed me how

To dance all night, to cry out loud?

Remember when our love was new?

Remember what I said to you

“You’re all I want”, well that’s still true

And I don’t want this fight

Put your hand in mine

Hold me close and move with me

Remember how

We used to shine

I don’t want this fight

Set the words alight

Just hold me close and move with me

With every beat

Remember how

We used to shine

Remember when you stayed ‘round?

Remember when you showed me how

To dance all night, to cry out loud?

(I don’t want this fight)

Remember when our love was new?

Remember what I said to you

“You’re all I want”, well that’s still true

I don’t want this fight
