You wouldn't believe what happened to me
A bolt from the blue, a feeling so true
All I could think was that it's easy to say
To bury it deep, hide it away
The light that you shine
Won't shine for me
Won't shine for me
The light in the evening, orange and grey
Reflected in neon flickering away
The faraway laughter that leads you astray
With the promise of more - all that you crave
The light that you shine
Won't shine for me
Won't shine for me
You shone like the sun in a perfect sky
And you won't see
I'm lost in the night
Drawn to the neon lights
And it burns
I'm tired and I'm done
Lost all I won
Don't want to belong anymore
I'm shutting you down I'm starting to stutter
I still look to the stars though I lie in the gutter
Can't you see I'm a mess? You shouldn't mess with me
The city is sleeping, the sirens call me
The light that you shine
Won't shine for me
Won't shine for me
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Mmm
The night streets are warm, shine from the rain
Screw your eyes to the light as you're drifting away
They're shutting up shop, closing the blinds
The neon keeps buzzing, I can't read the signs
The light that you shine
Won't shine for me
Won't shine for me
Oh the light that you shine won't shine for me
