Shine On

I glisten and I beam

I know I am a queen

Not ever looking back

I'm focused on my path

Day in, day out

I'd pick up all the pieces

You'd run your mouth

I'd have to answer for it

Someway, somehow

You slipped through my defences

Lord knows what I was thinking

Suddenly I felt that I was coming to my senses

'Cause all the time you left me here, sitting second-guessing

Finally I saw into your superficial essence

Saw you just for who you are

What I'd give now to show you

What I give now to say

Having you 'round was poison

I'm in a better place

Steady I'm moving forward

I shine on

I shine on, I

Thought you had clout

To push me 'round

So I gave into my doubts

Knew how to take advantage

You kept me down

You love to feel important

Lord knows what I was thinking

Suddenly I felt that I was coming to my senses

All the time you left me here, sitting second-guessing

Finally I saw into your superficial essence

Saw you just for who you are

I look in the mirror and I know my self worth

I glisten and I beam 'cause I know I am a queen

Not ever looking back now, I'm focused on my path

Floating like I'm in a dream

What I'd give now to show you

What I'd give now to say

Having you 'round was poison

I'm in a better place

Steady I'm moving forward

I shine on

I shine on, I

What I'd give now to show you

What I'd give now to say

Having you 'round was poison

I'm in a better place

Steady I'm moving forward

I shine on

I shine on, I

I glisten and I beam

I know I am a queen

Not ever looking back

I'm focused on my path
