Shine Lyrics

Blue shadows on the sun
Why do all my dreams feel so
So worthless in these hands?
I only want to shine
Bright enough to be
Be remembered tomorrow

And I feel this
Broken heart cry out again for mercy
Here in all of this confusion
I wish that I could teach my soul
How to smile

The skies are slow today
Funny how my time slips away
Away and so empty now
It’s easier to hide
My scars behind a veil of nothing
Deep inside

And I, oh I
Wonder how I’ll ever find a light
To shine in all of this confusion
Oh I wish I knew where I went wrong
And lost my way

I only want to shine
Alive inside myself
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within
I only want to shine
Brighter than this grey world
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within

When all my days seem torn
Remind myself that I am in my hands
And only I can fix me now

I only want to shine
Alive inside myself
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within

I only want to shine
Brighter than this grey world
More than just a skin
Wanna feel the warmth within

I only want to shine
I only want to shine
I only want to shine

Wanna feel the warmth within

I only want to shine
I only want to shine
I only want to shine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
