Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

I never really feel quite right

I never quite feel right inside

And I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong

And I don’t know why, all I feel is something's wrong

Every time I look at you, you seem so alive

Every time I see you, you seem so alive

Tell me how do you do it, walk me through it

Tell me how you do it, walk me through it

I'm following every footstep

I'm following every move you make

Maybe on your own you take a conscious step

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

Do you wanna give it up? All that I want

Do you want to give it up? All I want

Is for you to shine

Is for you to shine

Shine down on me

Shine down on me

Shine on this life that's burning out

Shine on this life that's burning out

...

...

I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right

Sometimes I say things that don’t come out right

And I act like I don't know why

And I act like I don't know why

I guess a reaction's all I was looking for, yeah

I guess all I wanted was a reaction, yeah

You looked through me

You looked right through me

You really knew me like no one's ever looked before

You really knew me like no one ever has

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

Do you wanna give it up? But all I want

Do you want to give it up? But all I want

Is for you to shine

Is for you to shine

Shine down on me

Shine down on me

Shine on this life that's burning out

Shine on this life that's burning out

I know, I know, girl you got something

I know, I know, girl, you’ve got something

Shine (shine it on to me)

Shine (shine it on to me)

Shine down on me (I wanna feel it)

Shine down on me (I wanna feel it)

Shine on this life that's burning out

Shine on this life that's burning out

...

...

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

Do you wanna give it up? All that I want

Do you want to give it up? All I want

Is for you to shine

Is for you to shine

Shine down on me (just show me something)

Shine down on me (just show me something)

Shine on this life that's burning out

Shine on this life that's burning out

(You give me something that I'll never know)

(You give me something I’ll never know)

Shine (it gonna kill me, if you give something away)

Shine (it’s gonna kill me if you give it away)

Shine yeah (I wanna know what's going in on your mind)

Shine yeah (I wanna know what's going through your mind)

Shine on this life that's burning out

Shine on this life that's burning out

Don't you know, I want you to shine

Don’t you see? I want you to shine

Shine down on me

Shine down on me

Shine on this life that's burning out

Shine on this life that's burning out

...
