Shining Star 04:26
Look in the mirror, do I hate what I see Who is this stranger staring back at me? Oh what will you think about me? I catch your eye, I smile and you grin Seems like it’s time we could both use a win But what do you think about me? I stare at my phone and wait for your call Trying to remember if I dropped the ball You ask me to see you, and all time stands still I’ve dreamed of this moment, please say that you will… Call me your shining star Remind me I’ve come so far From before, from who I once was I’ll treasure, I’ll savour this moment because This time it’s all so real Remind me that I can feel The thrill of each of your lines That tell the whole world that I’m doing just fine With you I talk, you listen, I dance, you lead Is this what it’s like to be finally free Oh what do you picture with me? Can I do this? Will I still be able? Will I be the joke at your dinner table? Oh what do you want me to be? I wait in the wings, the spotlight comes on Trying to remember the words to our song My heart is pounding and I can’t stand still Please hold my hand, please say that you will Call me your shining star Remind me I’ve come so far From before, from who I once was I’ll treasure, I’ll savour this moment because This time it’s all so real Remind me that I can feel The thrill of each of your lines That tell the whole world that I’m doing just fine With you How do you know just what to say When all of my words are just drifting away? Am I too much or just not enough? Is this the end of the one thing I loved? Am I still your shining star? Have I actually come this far From before, I’m still who I was I’ll dust myself off and start over because It’s worth it for something real And somewhere inside I can feel The thrill of each of your lines So tell the whole world that I’m doing just fine Your shining star I’m doing fine

I’ve loved you across countries, across continents and seas I love you like a lyric loves a melody I love you without judgment, no conditions, without end And if I could do it over I would love you again I love you like the shoreline loves the kisses of the sea I love you like the birds and bees love flying high and free I count the ways And count the days That I love you, that I love you Before my eyes It multiplies It’s amazing, what it can do I love you in all seasons from each winter through to fall Through all the changes of your life, I’ll love you through them all My love for you’s a drawing that can never be erased A picture in my locket that will never be replaced I love you through your worst days, your mistakes, and all your flaws It doesn’t slow, it only grows and the reason is because I count the ways And count the days That I love you, that I love you Before my eyes It multiplies It’s amazing, what it can do I love you like a bad day loves the promise of tomorrow I’d give my very life away to save you from your sorrow And when my time is up, if you are lonely don’t you fear My love for you will still endure my dear My love for you spans galaxies and outlives every star And anywhere you go is blessed for being where you are I count the ways And count the days That I love you, that I love you Before my eyes It multiplies It’s amazing, what it can do I’ve loved you across countries, across continents and seas I love you like a lyric loves a melody

This is the place where I sit This is the part where I love you too much Is this as hard as it gets? 'Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough I'm here if you want me I'm yours, you can hold me I'm empty and aching and Tumbling and breakin' 'Cause you don't see me And you don't need me And you don't love me The way I wish you would The way I know you could I dream of worlds where you'd understand And I dream a million sleepless nights I dream of fire when you're touching my hand But it twists into smoke when I turn on the light I'm speechless and faded It's too complicated Is this how the book ends, Nothing but good friends? 'Cause you don't see me And you don't need me And you don't love me The way I wish you would This is the place in my heart This is the place where I'm falling apart Isn't this just where we met? And is this the last chance that I'll ever get? I wish I was lonely Instead of just only Crystal and see-through And not enough to you 'Cause you don't see me And you don't need me And you don't love me The way I wish you would 'Cause you don't see me And you don't need me And you don't love me The way I wish you would The way I know you could
