[English]

I never quite feel right inside

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

Every time I see you, you seem so alive

Tell me how you do it, walk me through it

I'm following every move you make

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

Do you want to give it up? All I want

Is for you to shine

Shine down on me

Shine on this life that's burning out

...

Sometimes I say things that don’t come out right

And I act like I don't know why

I guess all I wanted was a reaction, yeah

You looked right through me

You really knew me like no one ever has

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

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

Is for you to shine

Shine down on me

Shine on this life that's burning out

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

Shine (shine it on to me)

Shine down on me (I wanna feel it)

Shine on this life that's burning out

...

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step

Do you want to give it up? All I want

Is for you to shine

Shine down on me (just show me something)

Shine on this life that's burning out

(You give me something I’ll never know)

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

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

Shine on this life that's burning out

Don’t you see? I want you to shine

Shine down on me

Shine on this life that's burning out

...
