Illiodic Shines
I spend too much time thinking about who I'm supposed to be
I play by everybody's rules that don't seem right to me
I'm cool and polite, on the outside
When I get a chance, I run and I hide
If your eyes are closed, it's hard to see
What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
What if they turn away when I show them who I truly am
What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doors open
Or tonight, just tonight
What if I shine?
Should I even care?
They're all sitting there, and everyone's staring at me
If I step out in the spotlight, maybe I'll be set free
What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
What if they turn away when I show them who I truly am
What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doors open
Or tonight, just tonight
What if I shine?
I... shine...
I spend too much time thinking about who I'm supposed to be
But what if I sing out loud?
Because anything can happen
What if I stand up proud and I show them who I truly am?
They're gonna call my name and I'll throw these big doors open
'Cause tonight, just tonight
I'm gonna shine
I... shine...
I play by everybody's rules that don't seem right to me
I'm cool and polite, on the outside
When I get a chance, I run and I hide
If your eyes are closed, it's hard to see
What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
What if they turn away when I show them who I truly am
What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doors open
Or tonight, just tonight
What if I shine?
Should I even care?
They're all sitting there, and everyone's staring at me
If I step out in the spotlight, maybe I'll be set free
What if I back down now, 'cause I'm afraid of what might happen
What if they turn away when I show them who I truly am
What if I lose my breath when I throw those big doors open
Or tonight, just tonight
What if I shine?
I... shine...
I spend too much time thinking about who I'm supposed to be
But what if I sing out loud?
Because anything can happen
What if I stand up proud and I show them who I truly am?
They're gonna call my name and I'll throw these big doors open
'Cause tonight, just tonight
I'm gonna shine
I... shine...
