Shine Lyrics - Singles - Dog's Eye View

Cut off your toes so you might walk little more slowly 

Cut out your tongue so you couldn't say anything wrong 

You held yourself up to the light so you might be forgiven 

You held yourself up to the light and you just disappeared 

And you've got a heart 

And you've got an open window that you can't get through 

There's light coming in 

Sitting there wondering why you don't shine 

You stayed up all night just hoping somebody might miss you 

Stayed by the phone while nobody called 

Then you put on a smile so you couldn't get any sadder 

Put on a smile now you're holding a grudge 

And you've got a heart 

And you've got an open window that you can't get through 

There's light coming in 

Sitting there wondering why you don't shine 

And why don't you shine? 

Maybe if you put a little faith in your own voice 

You might hear something 

That makes sense to you 

That makes sense to you 

You've waited your whole life to stand up and count yourself in 

But you never feel half as good or as bad as you know you should 

And you put yourself down on the floor so you wouldn't be a bother 

You put yourself down on the floor and you just turned to wood 

And you've got a heart 

And you've got an open window that you can't get through 

There's light coming in 

Sitting there wondering why you don't shine 

And why don't you shine? 

No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't know is I was getting better 

But you don't, don't, don't, don't always want what you get 

And you put it down and you shove it under the rug 

And you find out you're [Incomprehensible] 

Go out and find yourself and you're gliding all the way 

Like I'm your little head and you know you just shine 

Why don't I shine? And I wakeup every morning just hoping to feel 

Like I shine and please let me shine
