I forget dreams and lies
   I try and I try
   Think you should know
   Just what I like
   You should by now, somehow,
   Be living without
   I would rather shine in your eyes
   Hold me up, I'm coming down
   Headfirst for the ground
   Running right by my side,
   Till the end
   I would rather shine
   I would rather shine in your eyes
   I would rather shine
   I would rather shine in your eyes
   As you walk with me on this one way track
   All that you give, I won't give back
   So much of myself I hide from me
   I want to be all that you say you see in me
   I would rather shine
   I would rather shine
   I would rather shine in your eyes
   I would rather shine
   I would rather shine
   I would rather shine in your eyes
