"Heart Shines"
Like a dying spark--in the dead of night--
I'll be the last one out when--you see my light.
Like the day--break--in the darkest time--
I'll never be shunned, no, 'cause--I'm here to shine.
Get it up, get it up, get it up and go--reach--for--the light.
Gonna go, gonna go, gonna go--and--be--that--light.
Can't stop me--can't put me out.
I'mma show you all how I do it now, do it now.
'Cause this is the time--
Where--my heart shines--and I dance--
Into--the li-ight. And I be sublime--
As--I dance out. I be dan--
Cin' all my li-ife.
I'm not afraid to step out, I'm not afraid to just go.
I'm gonna make it feel right--just thought I'd let you know.
I'm not afraid to step out, I'm not afraid to just go.
I'm gonna make it feel right--just thought I'd let you know.
'Cause this is the time--
Where--my heart shines--and I dance--
Into--the li-ight. And I be sublime--
As--I dance out. I be dan--
Cin' all my li-ife.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
Of what's f---ed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go, but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so f---ing messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
I know I'm not the center of the universe
You keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
You found a new girl, and it only took a couple weeks
Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And good for you, I guess that you've been working on yourself
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped
Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl
Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night
Crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
Well, good for you, I guess you're getting everything you want (ah)
You bought a new car and your career's really taking off (ah)
It's like we never even happened
Baby, what the f--- is up with that? (Ha)
And good for you, it's like you never even met me
Remember when you swore to God I was the only
Person who ever got you?
Well, screw that and screw you
You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do
Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night
Crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Maybe I'm too emotional
But your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
Maybe I'm too emotional
Your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
Like a damn sociopath!
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night
Crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
[Verse 1]
So how long were you numb?
'Cause it was cold as ice
And I keep saying that I'm okay with it
But that's another lie
The truth is I've been dying slowly
But no, not you, you just
Turned to drift into the night
A parting scene of apathy
In an instant shift to a
Stone heart, paired with empty eyes
That stared right through mine
[Chorus]
I did the math but it just don't add up
There's a whole world that used to be us
Now there's an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but there's still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear
[Verse 2]
All is lost, slipped away
Gone without a trace
I sometimes wonder if it was real because
All that's left seems fake
Like I'm trapped within a wrong dimension
I tried so hard just to
Make you feel my pain
If you had empathy, you'd see I'd changed
But like a ghost in your presence, I dissipate
I tried it all, it's all in vain
[Chorus]
I did the math but it just don't add up
There's a whole world that used to be us
Now there's an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but there's still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
How to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear
[Bridge]
Sometimes, I still slip
And start to question if
It was only in my mind
It's hard to come to grips
That you still exist
When it feels just like you died
So come one and all
Step right up and I'll
Perform a trick before your eyes
I'll evaporate
Gone without a trace
Off the radar, out of sight
[Chorus]
I did the math but it just don't add up
There's a whole world that used to be us
Now there's an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but there's still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
How to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear
[Instrumental Outro]
I f---ed up
Shot myself in the foot
Blew it
Got myself in a rut
My friends know I'm such a little idiot
I'm sorry for the things I said
I hate myself so I make a mess
Make a mess
Make a mess
Why do I sabotage everything
In my life
I'm rolling round inside my grave
Regretting things that I said
I know that it's over
You said that it's over
Then one of us screams for help
Let's make a mess, make a mess, make a mess
I know that it's better
When we're not together
But I can't help myself
Let's make a mess, make a mess, DAMN!
We make such a lovely mess
I talk s---
I got a f---ed up past
Fill holes with whatever I can
Must be overcompensating
For something I'm repressing
I'm sorry for the things I said
I swear to god I hate this mess
I hate this mess
I know that it's over
You said that it's over
Then one of us screams for help
Let's make a mess, make a mess, make a mess
I know that it's better
When we're not together
But I can't help myself
Let's make a mess, make a mess, DAMN!
We make such a lovely mess
I demonize you cause the demons in me
Start corrupting my thoughts and destroying my dreams
Sabotaging the truth turning lies into news
I'm a garbage excuse of a friend or a muse
I'm sorry for the things I said
I hate myself so I make a mess
Make a mess
Make a mess
Let's make amends
I know that it's over
You said that it's over
Then one of us screams for help
Let's make a mess, make a mess, make a mess
I know that it's better
When we're not together
But I can't help myself
Let's make a mess, make a mess, DAMN!
We make such a lovely mess
We make such a lovely mess
Why do I sabotage everything
In my life
I'm rolling round inside my grave
Regretting things that I said
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was cryin' on the staircase
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh
I got tired of waiting
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, "Marry me, Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
You see the sunrise, a new day's upon you
You bite your nails, and your knees start to tremble
The time is upon you to show them what you can do
And soon they will know that the day has come
Late into the night, I hear it stormin'
And into the rain is what I pray, and I'm hopin'
Now I feel the pressure of the city
Oh, how it eats me whole
So many names and faces
Sleepless nights spent in unknown places
And every day I watch read into the great unknown
I'm not to blame
I'm gonna take a stand
Say my name
I'm telling you to reach out and finally take my hand
Their word's gonna make you
You grit your teeth or they gonna break you
The time is upon you to show them what you can do
You're breaking the mold to show you're not them
Will we break through?
I don't know, don't know
The bells are ringing
Come out and play now
The time is upon you to show them what you can do
And soon they will know that the day has come
Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Wooh
I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% that b----
Even when I'm crying crazy
Yeah, I got boy problems, that's the human in me
Bling bling, then I solve 'em, that's the goddess in me
You coulda had a bad b----, non-committal
Help you with your career, just a little
You're supposed to hold me down
But you're holding me back
And that's the sound of me not calling you back
Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom bom bi bom bi dum dum, ay
You tried to break my heart
Oh, that breaks my heart
That you thought you ever had it
No you ain't from the start
Hey, I'm glad you're back with your b----
I mean who would wanna hide this?
I will never ever ever ever ever be your side chick
I put the sing in single
Ain't worried 'bout a ring on my finger
So you can tell your friends: Shoot your shot
When you see 'em
It's OK, he already in my DMs
Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom bom bi bom bi dum dum, ay
I'ma hit you back in a minute
I don't play tag, b---- I been it
We don't f--- with lies
We don't do goodbyes
We just keep it pushing like aye, aye, aye
I'ma hit you back in a minute
I don't play tag, b---- I been it
We don't f--- with lies
We don't do goodbyes
We just keep it pushing like aye, aye, aye
Why men great 'til they gotta be great?
Don't text me, tell it straight to my face
Best friend sat me down in the salon chair
Shampoo press, get you out of my hair
Fresh photos with the bomb lighting
New man on the Minnesota Vikings
Truth hurts, needed something more exciting
Bom bom bi bom bi dum dum, ay
[Verse 1]
I know you're staring down
Straight down the barrel now
Ready to die (Ready to die)
You don't see no other way
Can't take another day
Of being alive (Being alive)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you hate yourself but that doesn't change
What is written down in your DNA
'Cause you're one of a kind
And you're here by design
Someday you'll see it if you stay
[Chorus]
You're a diamond
In the darkness
Find purpose in your pain
Walk the wire
Face your fire
Someone will need your strength
You're irreplaceable
Your days in hll are gonna be your glory
You're irrplaceable
There's no one else that can write your story
[Verse 2]
You may not believe it now
It's so hard to see just how
You matter at all (You matter at all)
You just wanna disappear
Take all you've been building here
And just let it fall (Just let it fall)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you hate your life but that doesn't change
The words that you might write, the lives that you might save
You choose how misery's defined
So take this song as a sign
And make your pain your saving grace
[Chorus]
You're a diamond
In the darkness
Find purpose in your pain
Walk the wire
Face your fire
Someone will need your strength
You're irreplaceable
Your days in hell are gonna be your glory
You're irreplaceable
There's no one else that can write your story
[Bridge]
When no one knows the hell you've been through
That doesn't change that there's only one you
That every scar, every mark, every bruise
Gives you a heart that understands someone's abuse
Sometimes life will leave you black and blue
So you can learn to stand in someone else's shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
You're irreplaceable
Your days in hell are gonna be your glory
[Chorus]
You're a diamond
In the darkness
Find purpose in your pain
Walk the wire
Face your fire
Someone will need your strength
You're irreplaceable
Your days in hell are gonna be your glory
You're irreplaceable
There's no one else that can write your story
[Post-Chorus]
You're irreplaceable (Irreplaceable, irreplaceable)
You're irreplaceable
There's no one else that can write your story
