Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Shine)
(Shine)
(Don't, don't, don't, don't you do it)
(Don't, don't, don't, don't you do it)
[Verse 2]
You say that you never had a mum
And nobody needs you
So cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by just to deceive you
By your time, by your time
[Verse 3]
You're getting old
And the longer you take
The slower your pain will grow
It will grow, it will grow
You can close your eyes
And hope that when you open them you've got a brand new life
Right to find, you can't hide
[Verse 4]
You can give your life
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever, but you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna shine
(Don't, don't, don't, don't you do it)
Shine, shine
(Don't, don't, don't, don't you do it)
[Verse 5]
Grow up and make the best of what you've got
Of what you've got
Of what you've got
The days are going by and you're sitting on your ass
And you're wondering why, why, why? Yeah
[Verse 6]
You can give your life or
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever, but you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna shine
You can bang your head or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever, but you can try
But look around you
Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna shine
[Verse 7]
You say that you never had a mum
And nobody needs you
So cry, so cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by just to deceive you
By your time, well by your time
You're getting old
And the longer you take
The slower your pain will grow
It'll grow, it'll grow, it'll grow
You can close your eyes
And hope that when you open them you've got a brand new life
[Verse 8]
You can give your life, or
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever, but you can try
But look around you
Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna shine
[Verse 9]
You can bang your head or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever, but you can try
Well look around you
Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna shine
[Verse 10]
(Don't, don't, don't, don't you do it)
(Don't, don't, don't, don't you do it)
(Don't, don't, don't, don't you do it)
(Oh no, oh no, oh no)
Shine
