You shine bright
Like a piece of coal set alight
You fuel the fire
And give a lesson in passion to the quiet kind
Oh but they don't know
Your flame goes out when you're alone
Oh but they don't know
You've got nothing left to burn
Warm their lives
You're the center of attention to the greedy kind
Kindle their hearts
Please every single one of them with validation
Oh but they don't know
Your flame goes out when you're alone and still they want more and more and more and more
Oh but they don't know
You've got nothing left to burn but yourself into oblivion
Oh but they don't know
You want to let them burn
Oh but they don't know
Your flame goes out when you're alone and still they want more and more and more and more
Oh but they don't know
You've got nothing left to burn but yourself into oblivion
Oh but they don't know
You've gone from black to grey and you've got nothing left to give
Oh but they don't know
You wish someone else could make you feel warm for a change cause
You shine bright
Like a piece of coal set alight
And all that's left in the end
Is a smoldering pile of dust
